    I am laughing my ass off right now. I received a phone call from our Global security people that we needed to be on super duper stage 3 code red alert for the next couple days and that I should post a guard in front of our Radiation bunker that is made out of 18" of rebar reinforced high density concrete, has redundant locking mechanisms on the entrance and is under constant video surveillance.:crackup:I was pretty proud of myself for not starting to laugh while I was on the phone with them. north-america-map.gif

    Are you really all the way up there?

    About a year ago this time I flew to Tokyo and around 1/2-way I looked at the flight map and it say we were right about overhead there.....and it was terrifying looking, i.e. desolate and freezing.

    I have a very witty reply, but it will get me banned. So no.

    Stay warm up there!

    I saw pictures of the inhabited areas of Iceland. The weather was bad enough. Then I saw what they regularly ate. Nope, nope, and nope.

    The witty must be assessed by a jury of your peers or it didn't happen.

    I'd be terrified too, if my planes's wings were 90 degrees off from where they should be.

    Ha ha. Maybe if they are having rock throwing target practice. The only guns up here belong to the police and security people.

    Håkarl (we called it hot Carl) - it’s pickled shark that’s been fermented in volcanic beach ash. One step below nuclear waste.

    We use it for logging oilwells. Basically bombard the rock with radiation and measure what comes back. We use a neutron emitter to detect the presence of hydrogen (gas, oil or water) and a gamma emitter to see what the density of the rock is to calculate what the porosity of the rock is.
