Truth Stranger Than Fiction Linkfest

Trying to create a fictitious, Orson Welles-like story for today was easy until during my research I discovered that the sometimes the truth is much more interesting.

Snow Glow in Upstate New Hampshire

Glowing snow in upstate New Hampshire due to the mixture of precipitation and decaying uranium-235 seemed like it had potential but then I came across these pictures of Chernobyl 21 years after.

Forget about irradiated thyroid glands, Who's got the monopoly on potassium iodide? Are there any manufacturers mass producing Geiger counters? Eye on the prize as they say.

Cyberdyne Systems

Everyone knows that according to the Chinese calendar that 2011 is the year of the robot. Or was that 'rabbit'?

Anyway, another idea had to do with buying stock in Cyberdyne Systems. This is the fictitious company that created Arnold Schwarzenegger...I'm mean the Terminator. A fictitious company?. Not so. And you'll never guess what they make. Right...robot suits. Get your Cyberdyne robot here.

See the video.

And when you put this type of technology in War R Us' hands (Stock Symbol:RTN), you get Robocop, or RamboCop...

I need to get me one of these. I always wanted to pick up an elephant.

A Monster is Born

There is obviously a Japanese disaster theme here, so let's continue. I'm sure that there's more than meets the eye with all the destruction caused by tidal waves and earthquakes, but I now have proof that much of the devastation in Japan was actually caused by Godzilla.

The existence of Godzilla has been disputed for years, but just walk towards Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard and look down.




Proof.
Game. Set. Match

Godzilla is actually of Japanese descent so don't let the Chinese theater fool you.
