BTW, one little detail shows how unconcerned with the truth Jeanet Moret is, take a look at the malformed pineapples, like weird mutant space alien creatures, that they cut to throughout the film. Though she doesn't refer to them, the clear inference from the context is that radiation did that. Oogie Boogie scary scary!
But no, they actually have nothing to do with radiation. It's just something that occasionally occurs spontaneously, everywhere pineapples are grown, and it always has, since long before we even created nuclear devices. In Taiwan they are considered lucky, and people will pay ten times the normal price for them.
I started glowing in the dark last month, but it comes in handy so I didn't complain....

Here's NOAA's update on the threat from Japanese debris...
Quote:
No 'island' of tsunami debris floating toward U.S., NOAA says
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been doing some serious myth-busting after news reports this week claimed a massive island of debris from the 2011 Japan tsunami was headed for the U.S. West Coast.
Uh, the ocean is already contaminated w/ mercury, and there is a LOT less of that than the radioactive water that is being dumped into the ocean in Japan. In fact, everyone, and I mean everyone, agrees that you should not eat more than a can or two of tuna a month. Mercury poisoning is real, and it will never, ever go away if you get it. It's cumulative. Does anyone here understand that radioactive waste, being heavy, will sit on the ocean floor for many thousands of years? Anything and everything that is in contact w/ that, and is eaten by other fish/crabs/etc, will then be radioactive, and be taken up the food chain. Radioactive poisoning is also cumulative. You do not have to contaminate the entire ocean, you only have to contaminate the ocean floor and sea creatures on the bottom of the food chain. There is a total news blackout by the Japanese government of what's happening in Japan. They do not have enough people to do much of anything. After a few stints at "clean up", these workers have reached their maximum safe exposure to radiation and cannot go back in there. Forever. The Japanese have refused offers of international assistance, even though they are woefully unable to contain this ongoing international disaster. That old Asian saving face thing in all likelihood. The Japanese mafia is recruiting homeless people to go in there and help w/ the clean up, many on what are essentially suicide missions. Nearly all of these poor unfortunate and desperate people do not even have radiation monitors, and are being lied to about the dangers. This is an ongoing disaster that is going to get much, much worse than any nuclear disaster in history. They have absolutely no real plan to deal w/ this, and if things go from bad to worse, there are plans being made to evacuate Tokyo. I mean, get some reality folks. 20 minutes of exposure to the latest crack that has opened is fatal. Not dangerous, fatal.
This totally reminds me of climate change denial, and we see where that one went! Ok, no problem brah. Just hit that smoke a few more times, all betta. Right! Uh huh. Do some research. All these scientists that are toeing the company line and saying relax, it's OK, they're the same ones that said nuclear energy is safe, and something like this could never happen. I personally know someone, a highly educated Japanese professional, who has already moved themselves and their family from Japan to Canada because they are convinced that things are out of control there, that the Japanese government is lying to it's citizens about the reality of the situation, and they refuse to put their children's lives at risk. Giving up their career and starting over was a no brainer to them. Notice how the US media has also been told to shut up and roll over? Keep the proles distracted w/ Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus while Rome burns. There is an almost total US news blackout as well. But the truth is out there, you just have to search for it. They KNOW that the California coastline will be hit w/ radiation (they estimate within two years, I think much sooner than that), how could Hawaii not be? Yes, the currents are different, but it's gonna happen.
