Apr 2012

So they measured this a MONTH after the earthquake/meltdown...and are just releasing it NOW...?

I'd hate to think the information is being released in small trickles to avoid a panic or anything...

so, no swimming in the ocean
no eating of fish or crab from the Pacific
what else to avoid?

when will the ocean start to glow?

shiiiiit!
