I didn't get through all of the links he had, so maybe I didn't get to the funny ones... I kind of just got to the point where I wanted to watch a video of someone raking their fingernails down a chalkboard instead.
----------------------------------------Maybe it's my ADD kicking in... Also... Not that I've ever written one, but, for some reason, the use of the word "presumably" in a scientific document makes me cringe. Edit: I was trying to make a funny there... but being at work limits ones ability to succeed at such things... [Edit 1 times, last edit by AnnieKenes at Mar 30, 2011 9:40:44 PM] |

Low exposure to the Nagasaki atomic blast resulted in longer lifespans--- http://opinion.financialpost.com/2011/03/21/l...ill-benefit-studies-show/ I think the key quote here is: “Among about 100,000 A-bomb survivors registered at Nagasaki University School of Medicine, male subjects exposed to 31-40 cGy [centigrays] showed significantly lower mortality from non-cancerous diseases than age-matched unexposed males,” Lower Mortality from non-cancerous diseases. I may be wrong, but I think the latest theory on cancer is that most cancers are caused by multiple changes (errors, mutations) in chromosomes. I'd be interested to know what the mortality level of cancerous diseases is for the people exposed.  |
