How are we to know what context, if any, you are attempting to use, unless you tell us?

I am not a misery guts its just that alot of people are suffering out there and to be honest the jokes aint even funny.

I wouldn't worry about it, hon. It appears to be quite normal to put a funny face on tragedy. I don't know why, but it always happens. One could maybe call it the "Fat Lady Slipping on a Banana" syndrome. Siegfried Sassoon wrote a poem that sort of addresses the problem; it's called "Blighters".

However, I've just heard a report that the danger zone around the damaged reactor has been extended big time. Meanwhile, the Japanese government is saying that everything will be ok. I don't be thinking so.

if any "radiation" gets into the Jetstream it will be Alaska, B.C. and Washington State who will be the Canaries in the coalmine.

In a situation such as the one taking place in Japan, the "authorities" always begin by telling folks that there is nothing to worry about, that safety measures are being taken, etc. This is officialese for "it's time to head for the hills." Never did like the idea of nuclear power, or offshore drilling, or sending tankers through troubled waters, especially if the Captain is hammered out of his skull. Come to think of it, and you probably know more about this than we do, didn't some numbnuts once want to place a nuclear power plant on the San Andreas Fault.:rolleyes:?

Re: Japan Earthquake

The Japs do seem to have a problem with 'owt nuclear, don't they?

Anyway, I've just done a quick calculation on that No 3 reactor that may be going into meltdown. It's the China Syndrome, except almost in reverse; if it does overheat and start plunging through the earth's core I reckon it will emerge in Ossy. I wonder if that will be a good thing or a bad thing?
