- BOFH2, on 04/14/2008, -4/+51Honestly I do believe that we underestimate the earth's ability to repair itself. This does not mean we should all go do stupid crap thought.
- theotheragentm, on 04/14/2008, -6/+49Think if girls wore coconut bikinis, we could manage to finally get a real life three-boob lady like in Total Recall?
- centran, on 04/14/2008, -1/+28So... Sponge Bob is based a true life story of a sea sponge and starfish that became sentient thanks to radioactive mutation?
- Totalchaos02, on 04/14/2008, -1/+25Either that or breast cancer....
- MadScientist68, on 04/14/2008, -9/+31Something similar is true of St Helen's, and yet we get all worried that some kind of environmental disaster is going to kill us all.
- Philodox, on 04/14/2008, -1/+19Except that Volcanic ash is rich in nutrients that can be used by organisms. Craters left by nuclear explosions are chock full of delicious radiation.
- StaticThunder, on 04/14/2008, -1/+16I don't worry about disaster befalling the human species, I worry about a disaster befalling US. Its all well and good that millenia after a nuclear apocalypse the Eloi run around happily except when the Morlocks come out.
- SEGA4life, on 04/14/2008, -2/+16Thats the power of salt water.
Oxi Clean's got nothing on it. - FeartheKnighted, on 04/14/2008, -5/+18Not many people know the story behind the bikini swimsuit (it was named after the Bikini Atoll, not the other way around).
Interesting read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikini#History - theOster, on 04/15/2008, -0/+12what i'm trying to say, is "I for one welcome our new Radioactive Coconut Overlords"
- sockpuppets, on 04/14/2008, -1/+11Step away from your keyboard and give Digg time to heal.
- vroom101, on 04/14/2008, -1/+10Bikini Atoll, 11-megaton thermonuclear bomb explosion on 26 March 1954, Operation Castle (Video), ROMEO Event: http://chamorrobible.org/images/photos/gpw-2005030 ...
Via photo 4 -> http://chamorrobible.org/gpw/gpw-20050304.htm - sockpuppets, on 04/14/2008, -12/+19I for one welcome our radioactive coconut eating coral reef overlords.
- goldfishey, on 04/14/2008, -0/+7Harabeck, I think your spellchecker has gone rogue.
- Balath, on 04/14/2008, -1/+8When we humans nuke each other, nature's going to look at each other and give a collective shrug, then continue on its way.
- TJ11240, on 04/14/2008, -4/+11See it while you can. Coral will be climate change's first casualty.
- BoneheadFarker, on 04/14/2008, -0/+7Well, if it can work for 4 turtles...
- apextek, on 04/14/2008, -1/+7just posing a question.... what would happen if we did nuclear testing in the middle of the ocean of plastic garbage? would it vaporize the plastic and be a safe area in years? would it make the area worse? better? just curious seeing as no-one has a good solution to get rid of the collected plastics that will eventually poison us.
- inactive, on 04/15/2008, -0/+6Yes, Radioactive Coconuts.
- odalaigh, on 04/14/2008, -1/+6Isn't this where spongebob squarepants lives? Bikini bottom. Talking radioactive undersea creatures. makes sense!
- DaviDTC, on 04/14/2008, -1/+6Thanks for the link. Very educational. Never knew they had a stick-on style of microkini that attaches with adhesive.
- stix213, on 04/15/2008, -0/+5Well, I don't think that you would have been too happy if you actually were at Bikini Island during the actually testing...... This is more synonymous with people returning to earth 50 years after a world wide disaster.
- EpicSelekta, on 04/15/2008, -0/+5Man I hate those commercials.
- santaliqueur, on 04/14/2008, -1/+6Where is this "more" you speak of?
- thebaron2, on 04/14/2008, -3/+842.
- mal1964, on 04/15/2008, -1/+6"The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we're gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, 'cause that's what it does. It's a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed, and if it's true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new pardigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn't share our prejudice towards plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn't know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, "Why are we here?" Plastic...*****."
- GC - - ZaZ2137, on 04/14/2008, -1/+6What an interesting theory....
- threemagic, on 04/14/2008, -0/+5There's some real-estate available near Chernobyl, you could buy it cheap and move in.... how long ago was that?
- rmxz, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4Radioactive wastelands probably end up less damaging to the environment than if the islands were made into some tourist attraction full of hotels, gas stations, walmarts and mcdonalds's.
Perhaps the solution to environmentalism and power and global warming is to build radioactive nuclear plants in all the places we'd most want to preserve - at least it'd keep the people out that probably do more harm than the radiation. - web2pointYo, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4Quaid!
- inactive, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5Your mom's coconuts are radioactive.
- randysouth, on 04/15/2008, -0/+4Dugg for berserk radioactive coconuts.
- ZaZ2137, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5Creative, but it doesn't rhyme like the original.
- kindrobot, on 04/15/2008, -0/+4They just don't regulate like they used to, huh?
- StaticThunder, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5Radiation burns are sexy.
- cdigioia, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4"No no, with one on the back...for dancing"
- Al Bundy - max420, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5I clicked on the link, and read the WHOOOLE DAMN ARTICLE. Even though I don't really care about bikini's in general, they certainly have an interesting history. Kudos for the link! I don't know why people are digging you down.
- debuggercll, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4Start the reactor.
- slightlygifted, on 04/15/2008, -0/+4he'll try and eat it and will get throat cancer.
- inactive, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5You put the lime in the coconut ... and call me in da' morning !
- yacks, on 04/15/2008, -0/+4European or African?
- Spartycus, on 04/15/2008, -0/+4Actually, in the way we understand it, vaporizing something in a nuclear blast does make it go away. It literally breaks the base atoms apart and releases a huge amount of energy in the process. In a nuclear explosion (not atomic mind you) it even goes so far as to create new elements from the base atoms...
This is why you are being dugg down. - inactive, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3Yeah! People have been trying to tell me some nonsense about St. Helens being a volcanic eruption, but you and I know the truth. That some evil villain had his secret volcano base there, and James Bond nuked it.
- flipmeat, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3There used to be this island called Elugelab... It ain't there kid, it's been totally blown away.
- Spartycus, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3We tend to think of radiation as a blanket bad thing. While its true that high levels of it can kill, what is lethal to complex organisms (such as humans) may prove relatively harmless to simpler organisms.
Once the radiation levels dropped below what was harmful for the coral, the reef was given relative safety from larger organisms that might have hurt its development. - inactive, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3This is great: "Two-piece swimsuits started appearing in the US when the U.S. Government ordered a 10 percent reduction in the fabric used in woman's swimwear in 1943 as part of wartime rationing."
- RoboRay, on 04/15/2008, -1/+4I think it would have to be carried there by a swallow.
- DaviDTC, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2There is also a video link with that picture on the main site. http://www.archive.org/details/CastleCommandersRep ... The explosions happen at 4:45, 10:45, 14:30, 16:00 and 17:45. Pretty amazing to see the clouds form and how the sky is changed around them.
- Kislev, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2How do you know so much about swallows?
- HappyScrappy, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2Divers at Bikini Atoll sounds like a superhero creation myth to me.
