Planet Earth To Human Race - Pick Your Poison

Now this sucks. I love sushi. What a blow. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not making fun of this, I'm totally serious. Is it possible that the "Godzilla" movies were preparing us for invasion by fire breathing dinosaurs? Like all the zombie movies are getting us ready for the zombie invasion? It sure seems like this is something that could develop...like film...developing into radiation, and mutation, and finally, whammo, Godzilla. Amazing how they could have known.

It says in this article, "most experts agree" that this whole thing will blow over. But what do the OTHER experts say? The ones that are not MOST experts? Do you ever stop to think about that? Read between the lines man.

My concern is, what will come first? Zombies or Godzilla? And what would be worse? Would it matter? Crushed beneath the feet of a giant lizard or eaten alive by ghouls? I would say if Godzilla could really crush you flat with one good shot I'd rather have that than be eaten. But that's just me.

Also want to add, I never believed that King Kong could beat Godzilla, like what happened in that movie. That would be next to impossible in real life.
Fishermen who lost their homes and boats in Japan's tsunami now fear radioactive water that had been gushing into the Pacific Ocean from a crippled nuclear plant could cost them their livelihoods.

The contaminated water raised concerns about the safety of seafood in the country that gave the world sushi, prompting the government to set limits for the first time on the amount of radiation permitted in fish.

Authorities insisted the radioactive water would dissipate and posed no immediate threat to sea creatures or people who might eat them. Most experts agreed.

Still, Japanese officials adopted the new standards as a precaution. And the mere suggestion that seafood from Japan could be at any risk stirred worries throughout the fishing industry.

"Even if the government says the fish is safe, people won't want to buy seafood from Fukushima," says Ichiro Yamagata, a fisherman who lived in the shadow of the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant. "We probably can't fish there for several years."

Fukushima is not a major fishing region, and no fishing is allowed in the direct vicinity of the plant. But experts estimate the coastal areas hit by the massive wave account for about a fifth of Japan's annual catch.
