In line with Ann Coulter's TV appearance promoting the benefits of elevated background radiation, a link is provided where her and her fans can enjoy the rays or bask in the glow. Amazing how current events fit into place. Must read.

That doesn't make sense, DU is used as a kinetic warhead, all the footage I've seen is of explosive missiles, and this is stupid:

Once the dust has vaporised, don't expect the problem to go away soon. As an alpha particle emitter, DU has a half life of 4.5 billion years.

If I remember high-school physics correctly, alpha particles are stopped by a few centimetres of air, and can't penetrate human skin.

So, NOW it makes sense.

and here when that cheerleader in high school referred to my penis as an alpha particle, I thought it was a compliment.

Or by soft tissue if the particle is inhaled. Probably good for you, a la Ann Coulter, don't you think?
