    There is indeed a California Hanford Walt. In the San Joanquin Valley. But it isn't YOUR Hanford. Geez a "half life of 700 million years". Now how can anyone possibly KNOW that? Seriously? Thank you for your reply. Does that mean a full life would be 1400...  more

    What reason did they give for refusing to do that? Did they think it would endanger them in any way? Sounds like a great plan to me.Of course if we have massive earthquakes it could disrupt or dislodge them. If we have space debris crash into our earth an...  more

    It's funny odd. When I think of Norway I think of ice and snow and fjords and cold. Grassfires? Seems out of place in my stereotype of the country. Thank you for your reply Durdle! :)

    The pies have different prices on each island, too. A slice of pie in Kingston is $2.20, in Port-of-Spain the same slice is $3.25, while in Nassau it's a whopping $5.50.These are the pie rates of the Caribbean.

    Not sure, but on a related tangent, people in Jamaica and other Caribbean lands say "carry" in reference to accompanying others to events and places, ie "I'm going to carry my wife to church on Sunday."
