Tsunami hits Japan

Well, Japan has sent for one of the two largest concrete pumps in the world.  It will be trucked to Atlanta from South Carolina and flown to Fukushima ASAP.  It won't be coming back home.

So it's the Chernobyl option, I guess, after all.  Why did they let some workers risk their lives if this was ever contemplated?

Because the concrete plan is not a good option. You will have no control whatsoever once the concrete is on there, one possible result being that it gets even hotter and who knows what might happen. Besides, the concrete of chernobyl is starting to wear down and they're expecting radioactivity to come free in a few years again.

Is it still too early for jokes?

So why did they ask for the gigantic concrete pump?  I think today is not the first day that neutron streaming has supposedly been seen.

Because the other option is not working out

A bloke who i work with has to go to Bristol on MOnday to inspect some cars. He has refused to go as the ship has come from Japan.

Yeah, I kinda got that part.


As for the advisability of the jokes, Gilbert Gottfried has apologized.

I would love to have posted them when it happened but i dont enjoy having time on the bench.
