That’s not really how it works. “Duck and cover” was (and still is) a pretty damn effective strategy for surviving an atomic blast relatively unscathed. Now, the end of Predator is a completely different story, as Ah-nold hadn’t actually finished the duck and cover process when the blast caught him.
The problem with radiation lies in hanging around the site. If you duck and cover, then make your egress as quickly as possible after the shockwaves have passed, and keep away for a few decades, you’ll pretty much be fine. If, however, you hang around, tend to wounded, then rebuild your house and try to make a life for yourself in the blast site, then you’re pretty much fucked.
I just realized, in preview, that you’re complaining about the fact that they didn’t even duck and cover. Didn’t they pretty much just cover their eyes? Yeah, that’s a death sentence. Mucho radiation for the rubberneckers.
Oh, really? Then how do you explain all of C-3PO’s dialogue that says they are?
As for how they can be humans if they’re from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, you’ll need to read Michael Wong’s fanfiction Conquest at www.stardestroyer.net .
My friend and I were talking about the soap opera-like “No! He can’t be my real father!” revelations that occur in X-Men every year or so. It’s been, what 40 years now? And still no one knows who their real parents are? Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Gambit, Quicksilver… the list goes on. This is getting ridiculous, people.
So we decided there should be an issue where Mr. Sinister becomes fed up with this nonsense, and hands the X-Men a computer printout revealing the identities of everyone’s biological parents.
This will, of course, cause a crisis in the X-Ranks when it is revealed that Mystique is everyone’s mother and Magneto and Wolverine are everyone’s fathers.

The humans of Star Wars were our ancestors. Some band of humans fled the Empire and ended up on ancient Earth. Their spaceship was the one Scully found on the X-Files in Africa. It’s likely that one family of the group were Adam and Eve.
Not to mention Farmer’s biographies of Tarzan and Doc Savage. I finally found the Doc Caliban/Lord Grandith Ace Double on this.
I’ve read a lot of Nancy Drew books to my daughter. Some day I’m going to do a Nancy Drew timeline - she must have time travel, since she is working on at least a dozen case at once in half a dozen different locations during her 18th year. Perhaps she got the time thing from Hemoine?

Glad you liked it–and you’re right, it is a small world. (Some of the follow-up posts were pretty wonderful, too; I wish I remember where that thread was).
You know, I just remembered seeing a webpage that contain an account of an agnostic explaing why he felt the way he did. Thing is, this agnostic was a charector in the Star Wars Universe, and it had an indepth explination of how all the tricks of the force could have been mure tricks of the had an perfectly everyday levitator technology. The page also had some “Champions, the RPG” fanffiction.
I believe you’re thinking of the Force Skeptics Page, written by Roger M. Wilcox, also the author of Dark Sucker Theory and Square Earthism . However, I should caution that he is also apparently a huge fan of the movie Shallow Hal , which suggests that he may be a bit of a kook.
