Nothing funny?

You know, it looked so pathetic to be dumping that whisp of water from helicopters onto the Hellgate's #1 - 6.

I mentioned that to one of my customers, and he said, "Lawn sprinklers -- those ought to work..."

Funny thing is, if I may use the word funny in relation to Japan, is that when I first started seeing pictures of the tsunami, it looked so casual, the flowing water, like rivulets of water on my garden, kind of slow moving and leisurely meandering.

Until I started translating distance and size.

And then, chill went down my spine.

Again, this isn't meant to be a joke, but, really -- Godzilla was the result of "nuclear experiments" gone awry. So all those comments about the radiation drifting off the sea -- like that's a good thing -- hey, some little fish in the Sea of Japan is even now mutating.

And Linda's comment: "So weird that Japan, of all countries, would go full in on nuclear power."
