On a web page I have pictures of molten potassium chloride, which has a high vapor pressure -- in other words, I'm breathing some KCl aerosol in the room. I joke that "I'm a little more radioactive for it" (since K40 is a small part of natural potassium).

Just drink some milk. That's about 2000 pico Curies per liter.
Here's a spreadsheet with foods that contain Potassium 40.
Yummmm.... The good news is that the body does a good job of keeping total potassium levels fairly constant. Therefore, overdosing on potassium rich foods, that happen to have some small percentage of radioactive K-40, isn't going to increase the overall radioactive exposure.
Also, next time you're at the farm supply store, the high potassium fertilizer is probably fairly radioactive.

That's equally offensive.

Jan IS offensive. That's why I've kill-filed him.

And besides, if something does "radiate for millions of year[SIC]", it can't be "radiating" very damn much!
Hell, if it was, why not just capture that free energy forever?

Somebody talked me into eating some pickled herring once - I was afraid it would be like sweet gherkins (which I can't stand), but it was "pickled" in brine.
It was delicious, and had a really meaty mouthfeel. I liked it. :-)
And small herring are sometimes packaged as sardines, which I also like with cheese and crackers or pretzels. Yum!
Cheers! Rich
No, he said "topsoil", which can be anywhere from 2 to 24 or more inches thick. ;-)
Here's just one example:

Bopal,
Only if you've got the clan colors and kilt at home and wear the kilt on proper occasions. Oh, and consume haggis on a regular basis.

'US' as in 'United States'. If that still offends you, then perhaps you were brought up saluting a flag, I dunno. But in my view bombing innocent civilians ( I am sure many did not even know where US was, vote for Saddam, or even have political interests), killing those people, and destroying a whole country, just so the price of oil stays high, and the multinationals can now grab it, IS a war crime.
However the right of the strongest applies, the native Americans were genosided (word??) away too. The winner writes history, self justification, the winner is right, and says so, by default.

I love Haggis!
(*) Two brothers MacTavish came over on the 1607 boat and settled what is now Culpeper, VA.
Due to British anti-Scot sentiment, changed name to Thompson (which was actually a sub-clan name).
You can view this history at a Scottish shop in Williamsburg, VA, where we bought the kilt and matching ties 15 years ago... while heading back from Germany going to my 35th HS reunion in WV... 50th in August ;-)

Sporadic E is the Earth's aluminum foil beanie for the 'global warming' sheep.
If you don't eat the haggis, it'll eat you! Kind of like in the movie, "The Blob!" ;-)
It's good stuff ;-)

Jan Panteltje is your typical bastard-family-tree Europeon anti-Semitic while claiming otherwise. In other words a lot like Slowman, but even more ignorant.
I ignore him completely... please do likewise.

In that case he must be quite sensible, rational and a very good person to have a beer with.
