26. Correlation is not causation.
Wed Feb 24, 2016, 06:09 PM
Feb 2016

My toe was hurting for two weeks after Fukushima. It didn't matter that I stubbed it on a chair. I guess it was Fukushima.

Sometimes idiocy deserves ridicule. This is one of those cases.

See ENEnews.com for the conspiracy theory spin, where everything is the blame of Fukushima.

If one believes that... Well one might want to hunker down in a bunker out of fear.

Otherwise, I recommend science, which one will not observe at ENEnews.com, nor in some DU posts.
