I liked this commercial, until I heard Colin Cowshits voice. The sound of his voice does nothing but remind me of his pure dumbassness when it comes to sports. And somehow the jagoff is getting a TV show based on his life.

I agree with what you are saying about separating the rods but it probably isnt possible at the damaged reactors at this point. In order to remove the rods you have to open the containment vessels, which are pretty much the only thing stopping a major radiation leak at this point. Even if there was no risk of a…

The control rods that separate the fuel rods isolate them. And Opening the reactor vessel to get to the already melted and possibly exposed fuel rods would cause an immense amount of radiation to be released. And that brings up what would you do with the fuel rods that you pulled out of the reactor. The problem now…

Is it even possible for this to turn into chernobyl, in which there will be an actual explosion of the core? From my understanding it is not possible because a boiling water reactor doesnt contain a combustable graphite core like the russian built RMBK reactors. And because they contain a reactor vessel which helps…

What is the threat level now that unit 2 has suffered an explosion inside the containment vessel?

Chernobyl operated for 14 years after the disaster as well. Yes TMI is still in operation but not unit #2 which suffered the meltdown. At this point Fukushima daiichi units 1, 2, and 3 are done and will never resume operation. Units 4, 5, and 6 were all shut down for refueling during the earthquake. Units 5 and 6…

In the far western suburbs we got about 20 in, drifts of 5+ feet. But nobody worry, the liquor store in town was open at noon and the watering holes in town opened up by 4.

What I cant figure out is everyone knew Lake Shore Drive was going to get bad, they were talking about 30 foot waves hitting it and flooding it, so why does everyone still try to take it?

I've driven over that bridge many times, it is a long way down.

@Novaload: Trains dont really back up, they simply move forward in the opposite direction. And the engineer is in the front of the direction of travel. In order to go in the opposite direction they have to have a cab car, which is a car equiped to operate the locomotive. So an engineer is always in the front of a…

If they used a good old fashioned diesel locomotive they probably wouldnt have had this lil problem.

@Isetta: And also was one of the most beautiful

@Smitty: X2. Last year I found out the reason for one of the amtrak delays I experienced. The train stopped in Montana to resupply and as they went to leave the station they found out the train was frozen to the tracks. How cold does it have to be to do that.

@ossuary: It turned into the jetpack they are refering to. The SAFER is a smaller version of it

I just went from 6 to 12

They burned a bench? Thats it? Clearly Britain needs some help with Rioting. Just look at what Laker fans do after they win a championship.

Couldnt they have just shot his plane down when he was in the no fly zone over the Capital

@FriedPeeps: All websites need to cut back on the videos. When I go to espn to read about how the packers did, I dont wanna see a 30 second ad followed by a 40 second summary which consists of 2 plays. Let me read a detailed article of it.

@Slimee: And when they fired those guns they were even more menacing. A missile launch is cool but compared to this its nothing

@Eltigro: Or the st lawrence seaway
