Isn't that for loonies? Parnell: Not at all. Friend of mine had one. Designer of the neutron bomb. You ever hear of the neutron bomb? Destroys people - leaves buildings standing. Fits in a suitcase. It's so small, no one knows it's there until - BLAMMO. Eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody dead. So immoral, working on the thing can drive you mad. That's what happened to this friend of mine. So he had a lobotomy. Now he's well again.

Macro evolution is a marvelous thing. Twenty years ago at a Global Sciences conference, I met a man who used to work in a nuclear facility. He contended that radiation was good for you. I wonder if he is still alive. J. Frank Parnell (from "Repo Man") http://www.myspace.com/jfrankparnell I take it that Repro Man refers to a movie?

[Vo]:What if radiation doesn't cause cancer?
Maybe J. Frank Parnell was right after all. Conventional theory says that radiation-induced cancer occurs with a certain probability based on accumulated molecular damage. But why didn't evolution provide a fix for this long ago? What if it did, and this cumulative damage doesn't occur except in certain people who suffer a genetic disorder which breaks a corrective process? Risk of Radiation-Induced Cancer Increased in Some Individuals http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/555669 http://www.bioone.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1667%2FRR3329 Apparently the benign menengiomas (brain cancer) caused by theraputic x-ray treatment widely given in the 1950s was concentrated in certain groups of people. A-bomb a city, but only certain people come down with radiation disease? Irradiate everyone with low power x-rays, but only certain families aren't immune? J.
