Another Excellent Anti-nuke Point: Spell Checkers Hate Nuclear Power, Therefore Nuclear Power Is
Edited on Tue Aug-12-08 05:51 PM by NNadir
Bad.

I am trying to type the word "uranate" in a note to myself on the contents of a paper.

The spell checker keeps changing it into "urinate."

This proves, along with Matthew McConaughey's baby's placenta and the People Magazine poll on whether the public prefers giant tsunami powered wave power to nuclear power, that nuclear power is unsafe.

1. What would make you grumpier?
If someone unrinated in your corn flakes or if you found uranate in your corn flakes?

2. You have to spell check notes to yourself???
Na2O (UO3)2·6H2O or yellow uranium oxide? Hopefully they quit using it before I worked on any pottery projects
