    I guess you could say Kamigishi Akari-chan of visual novel and anime To Heart is an arctophile.

    I asked my wife “If I was an inanimate object, what would I be?”

    She said “A window”

    I thought about it for a minute and then said “Is that because I’m transparent, I let the sunshine into your life and shield you from the rain?”

    She looked up slowly, smiled and said “No it’s because you’re a friggin pane”

    I’m sure it was “an error” and not some frothing computer geek having the prank of his life.

    Take care, may proud Canadian yo-yo enthusiast Sean “Well It’s Sort Of The United States Up Here When You Think About It But Don’t Think About It And Just Enjoy The ‘Royal’ This And ‘Imperial’ That While Smiling And Saying ‘Sorry’ When Somebody Cuts You Off In Traffic” McPuckord be with you, and gesundheit.

    so, I say, drain the ocean to remove the uranium and bury it in a landfill…just to be safe…or call the newly drained ocean a landfill and then bury the uranium with all of that plastic…

    A man scolded his son for being so unruly and the child rebelled against his father. He got some of his clothes, his teddy bear and his piggy bank and proudly announced, “I’m running away from home!”

    The father calmly decided to look at the matter logically. “What if you get hungry?” he asked.

    “Then I’ll come home and eat,” bravely declared the child.

    “And what if you run out of money?” inquired the father.

    “I will come home and get some,” readily replied the child.

    The man then made a final attempt, “What if your clothes get dirty?”

    “Then I’ll come home and let mommy wash them,” was the reply.

    The man shook his head and exclaimed to his wife: “Honey! This kid is not running away from home, he’s going off to college!”

    Not sure I’d say the computer made an error, I’d expect the programmer did -or whoever set up the timing. Computers just follow instructions.

    A parallel to the uranium in the ocean was a statistic that people lost a large amount of pocket money (a million dollars?) every year so some guy quit his job and began walking the streets searching for his fortune. After a year he’d found less than two dollars.

    The amount of uranium and of money ignore the massive volume of the ocean and large area the country.
