A lighter shade of cynical gloom: “The Fukushima Dictionary” is out!

The Fukushima Dictionary of Physics Terminology

Half Life - How much of your lifespan has now been taken away by listening to the misinformation being spewed out by the mainstream media's reporting on Fukushima.

Under control - Hopelessly out of control and probably likely to explode at any minute. As in, "Reactor No. 2 is completely under control now."

Safe - The new government euphemism for "more than enough to give you cancer." As in, "The radioactive fallout from Fukushima is now SAFE."

Fission - The result of the collision between one loose cannon idea and a spherical critical mass of bureaucratic corruption in the power industry. The resulting explosion gives off two additional loose cannon ideas that go on to cause a chain reaction throughout the entire government leading to a total meltdown of integrity.

2. Those are good.

Here's my favorite:

Inadvertent recriticality - A clever way of covertly rephrasing, "The damn thing is melting down for some reason and we have no friggin' clue why."

But it's only funny when you read to the end of the article: "the media itself seems to be wildly ignorant of physics".

We should add more terms.

3. Hilarious, how did I miss this?

Probably needs a little updating given the current information that's come out...
