What? How does one disguise oneself as a radioactive waste container? Cut two footholes in the bottom of a garbage can, and paint a yellow and magenta trefoil on it? ---

The most interesting part of this story is how easy it is sneak into a nuke plant. Of course, when I say “interesting”, I mean “horrifying”. ---

I bet they looked a lot like Jacko, Whacko and Dot, climbing into the Warner Brothers water tower. OK, oil is bad. Coal is bad. Nuclear power is bad. If we go back to plain old wood is bad. Whale oil is still bad. They’re against everything. What can we use??? I got it, let’s burn Green Peacers! :eek: ---
