    Nice new signature by the way.

    You would have thought a clever bloke like Einstein might have treated us to a comma or two.

    Slagging off the chap who came up with the Theory of Relativity because of his punctuation is an internet forum "must-do", isn't it? ;)

    I don't know what he'd be most upset about; being pulled up about his poor sentence structure or the c**p that's being posted in the name of science.

    I think Poshbird is having a laugh by the way. Even David Icke would be embarrassed.

    No but when transcribing a speech into the written word commas sometimes help to show where there might have been a pause.

    Commas are over-used. It's not for no reason that Henry James is out and Hemingway is in.

    Frankly, I can't see how the Einstein quote needs a comma.

    Me neither really. I'm just killing time until the next 'why aren't interest rates being raised' thread starts.

    it is quite revealing that someone who thinks that a meltdown would cause the melted core to burn its way to the centre of the earth is also a silver freak.

    Us silver investors are very interested in world events.

    PS It was clear to anyone with half a brain I was joking, for instance my line saying I shouldn`t joke about something so serious. But I guess it was to hard for you to understand.

    So any way nicky you did not answer my question as to are the 2 or 3 men who had radiation burns on their legs still alive? If so did they get to save their legs? How many have died so far as a result of radiation? What are the projected death tolls for the next 10-25 years? In many ways this is already worse than Chernobyl, and death toll is now in the millions over 25 years.

    Will we start seeing Japanese children with hair and teath falling out like we saw in Chernobyl?

    You can say what you want about Alex Jones but Dr Chris Busby is a Brit scientist and director and adviser about Nuclear experts. He says cancer is coming the trouble is you cant see this stuff. Dr Busby says there is no doubt a massive cover up cesium 137 is on the ground in Tokyo "this is a massively dangerous event."
