On the 70th day of 2011, an 8.9 earthquake hit Japan. The Bible has 1189 chapters and 66 books; this earthquake happened 1189 days after the 66th anniversary of Pearl Harbor.
I gotta stop looking at OpenBook
How the hell do people always figure these things out so fast?
Do they just have a chart with numbers and just try to match up every disaster to them or what?
It helps to realize the numbers are meaningless. Basically they just find creative ways to add up/subtract/multiply/divide various data points until they find numbers that "match up" to some other set of numbers that are supposed to represent something else. It's actually more of an art form than anything else, because you're not finding any actual correlation but just playing with the numbers until you find some that appear to show correlation.
Whenever there's any sort of natural disaster we need IBM to fire up their Jeopardy computer so it can make thousands of these numerical correlations.

and lo it was prophecied in the excell spreadsheet of doom in book 3 column d row 4821
The Today show has an MIT nuclear expert on and he's doing nothing but spreading calm and facts about the reactor and shooting down the constant use of meltdown by the host.
Refreshing.
german news are kind of infuriating in that regard
they have greenpeace "experts" talking about how "it doesn't matter whether it's a meltdown or not, all reactors are bad mmkay", then saying stuff like "this is exactly the right time to talk about shutting down german reactors", physics professors saying "the meltdown has happened, there is only the question of how bad it will be"
Greenpeace is always a riot, especially if you ask them what we should be using for power.
wh--
what do they think we should be using for power
positive thinking?
Seriously man, what do they believe we should use? I am eager to hear their solution for maintaining or replacing our way of life and not killing off a lot of people in the process.
The real concern is, are there any small animals in close proximity to high levels of radiation, how large will they be growing, how many rows of tanks will be able to fend them off before the appropriate defences are activated

They kept flashing up a headline on the screen that said "Radiation levels around the reactor 1000 times higher than normal" which annoyed me as well. What does that even mean? It just seems like scaremongering, like most people are going to automatically think that's really bad, when in actual fact normal radiation levels around a modern reactor are probably so low that 1000 times higher might just be equivalent to being on a plane or something.

The death toll in northeast Japan after a powerful earthquake and tsunami could rise dramatically, with news that about 9,500 people are unaccounted for in the town of Minamisanriku in Miyagi Prefecture.
The Kyodo news agency reported that number Saturday, citing local officials, and said it represents more than half of the community's population.
Let's hope that it's just the panic of post disaster, and that they're ok
That's the best info I've seen that's not breathlessly proclaiming an imminent nuclear disaster but actually just stating what's actually known so far. There's too many people speculating about how bad this could be without actually having any meaningful information. There will always be people who try to fill an information void by speculating about how bad it really is as if they actually know what they're talking about. One of my friends on FB has posted several times about how terrible this is and I'm just like, "dude, stop overreacting. you're a smart guy, use your brain."

At first, I didn't notice those were two separate photos and so I thought "Oh no! That boat is going right into that giant tidalwave of fish!"

Solar and wind power.
So yes, positive wishful thinking.

Apparently it's equivalent to roughly 30 bananas.

30 bananas
may god have mercy on us all
bananas are fucking awesome, i had no idea
or slice them up and put them with some milk and cereal?

wikipedia gives a thyroid dose of 1000 mSv for adults, or 100 rems
which is equivalent to 1.014 x 10^8 bananas
that is a lot of bananas. quite a bit more than 30 anyways.

Really, though, hoping for the best for everyone. The friends that I have in Japan are all ok, just wish everyone had that kind of luck.
