[Bosda_Di_Chi_of_Tricor]

The German pigs we set on fire & launched at elephants didn’t like it.

Atomic Death Piggies!

Many of the boar that are killed land on the plates of diners across Germany, but it is forbidden to sell meat containing high levels of radioactive caesium-137 — any animals showing contamination levels higher than 600 becquerel per kilogram must be disposed of. But in some areas of Germany, particularly in the south, wild boar routinely show much higher levels of contamination. According to the Environment Ministry, the average contamination for boar shot in Bayerischer Wald, a forested region on the Bavarian border with the Czech Republic, was 7,000 becquerel per kilogram. Other regions in southern Germany aren’t much better.

Just wait until they start breathing fire, boys!

Why so much contamination in Bavaria?

The pigs land on plates? That’s damn good piloting! So irradiating them also gives them the power to fly. Wow, who’d a thunk?

There was heavy rainfall in parts of South Germany (roughly south of the Danube) just when the Chernobyl cloud passed through in 1986 (see the small map on this page for the distribution of Cs 137 contamination in Germany.)

Aren’t the mountains there naturally radioactive?

Pink Floyd knew about this.

I was hoping irradiating them would give them spidey powers.

Spiderpig, spiderpig, does whatever a spiderpig does…
