Also... the U.S. has been waiting since the 1950's for nuclear powered cars. (They were going to make the turbine powered ones obsolete.) But now in the day & age of hybrids, I see an opportunity. A Nuclear/Diesel hybrid! Brilliant. I've got to check the USPTO for any prior filings.

Funny, most people aren't even aware that there is a source of ionizing radiation in most smoke detectors. Can you just imagine the screaming, panic, and congressional inquiries if the dullards in our U.S. press ever decided to do an expose' on this horrible fact?

Yeah, but that's the stuff they used at Chernobyl. It's best not to skimp.

Anyone game to shell out $13,800 for a 55-gallon barrel? You could parcel it out in small increments like someone did with the official MBZ sunroof lube.
