I always use air quotes around the word "special".

Pretty similar here.

Update 3/12 12:26: Now a headline from Kyodo Wire: Fukushima nuke plant might be experiencing nuclear meltdown. From AP via Steve Herman: A meltdown would potentially put humans at risk within a 6 KM range. What is a nuclear meltdown? Wikipedia has a good primer. WSJ: Authorities pouring water into reactor to "stop the meltdown."

So a thousand bodies washed up on shore today. Can you imagine seeing that? You'd walk back inside and be all "Hey, there's like a thousand dead bodies out there on the shore," and everyone would be all "BS, no way."

Not including the nuke plants, you are prob right. If anything comes out of the nuke's, it will easily become #1.

Today show was saying that this could be very close to chernoble(SP). If that is the case, you gotta think that this will not only have an obvious immediate effect but that it could kill most of their exports for many years, if not a couple decades, to come. Who will buy grain, livestock, etc from a place that had so much radiation leakage?

Long term mumped.

I'm not certain you are 100% up to date on the grain and livestock exports of Japan.....
