#1 I'd be concerned about a three-headed snake, and a six winged bird at the dump...

Aceros de Chihuahua foundry had made the rebar by recycling scrap obtained at the Ciudad Juárez Yonke Fenix.

Oh yeah, and a eight legged dog with two...

That place needs decontamination before too many kids are born looking like the aliens in, "War of the Worlds"

#2 For three easy payments of 19.95 per month you get Cobalt-60 grill.

Tell a friend and I will send you the extra essences and my glo in the dark secret recipe for BBQ ribs and BBQ brisket.

Bon Appétit!

#4 Co 60 has a half-life of 5.27 years, so after 21 years, its radioactivity would only be 1/16 of the original. The burial is actually a pretty good remedy since it is isolated and the radiation (electrons and gamma rays) contained.

#7 Expect the number of chupacabra sightings to explode.

#8 On a trip to El Paso/Juarez, we saw the soft glow of the mounds of this radioctive dump. When inquiring what it was, we were told by some nuns that there was a lot of illegal dumping there but no one would listen. They were upset because this is a squalid camp they visited daily, to take formula and food to mostly women and children sheltered in cardboard shantys and without clean water. Geraldo Rivera even did an investigative story on it clear back in the 80's, but we dismissed most of it as liberal hype as it was his pre-Fox days.
