Of the Dead or Dying (Thanks Jennifer!)


Britain's Health Protection Agency said seven employees at London’s Millennium Hotel tested positive for “low levels” of the highly radioactive polonium-210. These must be very low levels, considering the maximum permissible amount of ingested polonium equals .0000000000068 g. However, health officials “judged that there was no risk to the staff’s health in the short-term.”

That's comforting.

Also, MSNBC reports the curious fact that Litvinenko converted to Islam before his death. He was buried in the same cemetery as Karl Marx. How's that for company?

(Marx resides under the monstrously large granite slab with a giant head. Modest, even in death Karl.)
