She's got a serious case of yellow dandruff.
Did she start this song by calling her boyfriend gay, then the rest of the song is about flirting with him? Hmmmm.

*banish that dandruff!

The actinides are, generally, "safe" to handle, like those Uranium Oxide pellets. You are more likely to damage the pellet with your nasty human oils than the uranium will you...unless you eat the whole thing, but its chemical toxicity will do you more harm that its radioactive toxicity. Uranium oxide just isn't that radioactive, that is why none of the containers or work areas were shielded in this lab.



Now, if they were dealing with a "hot" substance, one that has hard gammas (like when you do MOX fuel recycling), you have to take even greater precautions because then the radioactive problems really do start to show their heads. Not only will it damage your cells faster than they can repair, but it can start to take out unshielded electronics. This is generally only true for fission products, and a few actinides like protactinium which is highly radioactive AND chemically toxic, and generally only man-made (normal occurrences are less than a few parts per trillion in the crust).



These complications are pretty good generalization to why normal LWRs are not the best way to do nuclear, they just generate far to much waste compared to alternatives. You burn less than 1% of the mined uranium in current reactor tech and fuel cycle choices. With a thorium cycle in a molten salt reactor, you can burn greater than 90%, pushing up to 99% or higher if you try real hard. This means you generate an order(s) of magnitude less waste, and that waste generally is safe after about 300 years (radiation is about the same as naturally occurring radiation). There are also other alternates that use uranium in a faster spectrum that perform better than current tech.



A second age of the atom is fast approaching. Unfortunately, those great pioneers which made this industry in the shadow of "the bomb" failed to realize the full potential of e=mc^2. If nuclear power was developed along side the Apollo instead of the Manhattan project, we might already be in that future, alas...it was not to be.



Radiation is fascinating though! I used to believe what I read in the fear news about any radiation leading to death..turns out that isn't so true after all. The planet is a far more radioactive place then you normally consider, and FAR more radioactive when our primordial ancestors evolved. In fact, there are many people living today in what are dubbed High Background Radiation Areas that seem to suffer no ill effect, and some suggest, have lower rates of cancer than other groups. More studies need to be done, but initial findings fly in the face of the notion of radiation I grew up with (that it all is bad and it all kills you!) Some have even suggested that the creator of the entire model used for evaluating radiation risk knowingly lied about it. The entire basis for today's evaluation of radiological risk is evaluated by Muller's findings as supported by the National Academy of Sciences’ of the time. And in fact, might just be based in fear instead of evidence.



Perhaps ancient man went through the same struggles as he tried to adopt fire, some impassioned move against the dangers of fire prevented some groups from using fire and advancing their way of life. Fire, though, allowed the groups that adopted it to improve their life dramatically. The energy released from a fission event is over a million times more energy rich than any energy tech we currently use, imagine what that could mean for mankind. Fusion is over 4 times that of fission (but much harder), and antimatter over 2000x that of fission (and MUCH MUCH harder). Yes, the age of the atom has only just begun, and who knows were man will be a result? Don't settle for solar dandruff, the power of the atom will reign supreme.

At first I was going to defend this guy. I guess that's my natural tendency, to defend the males' perspective. Upon further thought, I realized that I can't justify defending this douche's actions. What kind of numb-nuts doesn't have the common courtesy to tell a bitch to back off when he's hanging out with his girlfriend. Especially while sober. So what, she's pretty. But the girl you're with has more than like touched your 3 inch dandruff covered dick. That should put her leaps and bounds ahead of any girl with a rack that decides she wants to talk to you.
Furthermore, what do you think a stuck up broad like this would be like in bed? You think she would take a load the face? Let you do her in the butt? Suck on your balls? Hell no, you need a down-to-earth broad like the one you're with to do that shit for you.


I roflpalmed. = Rofl + facepalm

looks like he's got some cosmic dandruff

I think I'm staying quite on topic with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Lies_to_Tell_Small_Kids

-wine makes mummy clever
-its unlucky not to name every ant you see for your whole life
-milk feels pain
-strictly speaking,the tomato is not a vegetable it really is a type of dolphin
-1 in 10 fish are afraid of water
-mice collect your dandruff and eat it as cornflakes
-squares have a secret 5th side that you will only see if you stare at for a very long time
-mugs are just cups who have been to the gym
-they say no 2 snowflakes are the same but who's ever checked? i'll give you £100 if you find a matching pair

Now, whatever you do, DO NOT Google the name of the book with "+pdf" attached to the query. It's a great book that you should buy (really - I did).

^ Friedman's answer sounds like trying to cure dandruff with a guillotine.

100 years ago when the government wasn't regulating business, there were 12 year-olds working 100 hour work weeks in factories that poisoned them.

But hey, nobody was worried about lobbyists, so let's go back to that, pronto.

They say it works against dandruff, even after just one use, and lasts 4 weeks. And it has fruit compounds or whatever in it.

/me dusts off my Russian skillz.. and also reminds people that this is an amateur parody, cause some seem to think it's a real ad. talk about stereotypes...

FemVoice: "Are you emo 4REAL?"
*guy nods*
F: "Then your dandruff is probably emo, too" (<- wtf?, I know) Guy: "What the fuck is that?" (says 'fuck' literally)
F: "Head&Shoulders for emos. Your new ally in the fight against real emo dandruff. With additional improved formula."
Guy: "One that irritates eyes."

I'd say it's mediocre at best. Also, sorry for not making up a funny fake translation (not having the time atm makes me sad).

This cat most likely has fleas, or a skin disease, or both. My cat never did this, and then one day we realized she had a lot of fleas. The vet said she was allergic to the fleas and caused her skin to become flakey like dandruff, and sensitive. When you pet her hindquarters, she did the same exact thing as in this video. After a flea shampoo treatment and carpet treatment, her skin became normal and she no longer exhibits this weird behavior. Please take your cat to a vet and have him/her checked out.
