The New Collusus

[Rope-Pusher]

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Radioactive cars from Japan keep turning up in Central Asia
Cars irradiated in Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster quarantined in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

Yeah, that was my second choys for a soundtrack, but it just didn't have the hot chick with a violin thing going for it like the one I ended up using.

So,...I bet a little radioactivity ain't so bad for you. Maybe not good vehicles to spend all day in, so put a sticker on the registration that says "May not be used for taxi or courier services".

I wonder if there were similar concerns after Chernobyl, or if "In Former Sobiet Onion, Car is make DRIVER dangerous"
