So...a part of the outback that’s safer than the rest?

It shouldn’t be too hard to locate. It’s probably where all those poisonous octopuses, giant, pouched rats, and surly, chlamydic bears are coming from.

This was what I was thinking. If it’s that dangerous they should be able to drive along with a Geiger meter or something similar and find it, no? 

ah so 72000 chains

So that’s 27000/456 hogsheads?

That’s a small thing to try to find along a 360,000/250 kilometer (7200 furlong) stretch of road.

Yeah, this seems like one of those stories that relies on a catchy title to lure you into clicking on it before realizing there’s a distinct lack of explanatory details being offered in the actual copy. There should be a term for this.

Something about this doesn’t add up. I work in the nuclear industry and we don’t transport dangerous material like this and it would have been shielded with lead, concrete or water.  A pellet sized capsule would be in a much larger than pellet sized container for anything but immediate use or harvesting.

“8mm (63/200 inches) long and 6mm (59/250 inches) wide”

Joke’s on the capsule, it’s probably the -least- deadliest thing in Western Australia!

Shouldn’t it be relatively easy to grab some radiation detecting equipment and drive the path the truck took? I would think anything emitting strong enough to burn the skin would be very easily detectable as long as there’s not something crazy where like a storm washed it down a river or it got stuck in someone’s tire…

“According to authorities in Australia, the capsule was safely packed away on January 10.”

“A tiny capsule of death has fallen off the back of a truck somewhere in Western Australia, sparking a hunt to track it down.”

Back in ‘15, I had a roommate whose PS4, which could not have been more than a year and a half old at that point, had to have two controllers because their batteries would die after less than two hours.  

Good addition. And then when everyone is rolling their eyes and muttering “what an idiot,” say they’re all “triggered” (be sure to include the cry-laughing emoji to really sell it).

I'd only add "4. ALWAYS pretend you've 'won.'"

It’s basically a script at this point.

They made....the battery.......smaller........

Sony, what the fuck are you doing?

All the time with this weaksauce shit.

It’s really terrible when people jump to disrespectul conclusions. Anyway, like I was saying, most western men are feminine and weak...
