There is no cancer tolerance. You injest carcinogens until they reach a certain level within your body that causes cancer. The "risk" level for carcinogens is the level that has been proven to give cancer to 50% of rats (however many rats they used overall for each particular trial). People are alot stronger than rats and even then, it's only a 50/50 chance. I feel safe enough.
I'm sure they will remove the offending substance immediately rather than risk any bad publicity. It seems to me that with all the soda americans drink a good portion of us would have cancer.
Hey guys! I made a horrible discovery. People are actually naked under their clothes! Anyone around you could suddenly turn into porn if you're not careful.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Monty Coles was 3,000 feet in the air when he discovered a stowaway peeking out at him from the plane's instrument panel: a 4 1/2-foot snake.
Coles was taking a leisurely flight over the West Virginia countryside in his Piper Cherokee last weekend and was preparing to land in Ohio when the snake revealed itself.
``Nothing in any of the manuals ever described anything like this,'' said the 62-year-old Cross Lanes resident.
But advice given 25 years earlier from his flight instructor sprung to mind: ``No matter what happens, fly the plane.''
Coles attempted to swat the snake but it fell to the pilot's feet, then darted to the other side of the cockpit.
While maintaining control of the single-engine plane with one hand, Coles grabbed the reptile behind its head with his other.
``There was no way I was letting that thing go,'' he said. ``It coiled all around my arm, and its tail grabbed hold of a lever on the floor and started pulling.''
The next step was to radio for emergency landing clearance.
``They came back and asked what my problem was,'' he said. ``I told them I had one hand full of snake and the other hand full of plane. They cleared me in.''
After a smooth landing, Coles posed for pictures with the snake, then let it loose.
A cow escaped Sunday morning from a slaughterhouse in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, and seriously injured an employee trying to recapture it, police said.
Kazumi Kawamura, 56, was knocked unconscious when the 730-kg cow charged into him, they said.
The 3-year-old animal bolted from the slaughterhouse at around 6:50 a.m., shortly after being transported there by truck.
"The cow was being delivered to the slaughterhouse, and it was startled by a loud sound and just ran off," said Masashi Kitabayashi, a police official in Yokkaichi.
It ran about 6 km as Kawamura, six other colleagues and 20 police officers gave chase.
The cow later smashed headlong into a metal fence and died, the police said.
Slaughterhouse workers took the cow's body away.
"I don't know whether it will be processed into meat or not," Kitabayashi said.
Senior Uses Katamari Reference in Graduation Speech
(isn't real news, but happened at a graduation at my school yesterday)
Near quote: "Ever since we entered the academic system, we've been like adhesive balls, rolling around and picking up knowledge as we grow physically, mentally. And now, as we enter the next step in our lives, we've become more than sticky balls. We have become stars, through the sky and into space."

I didn't want to make a new thread on this and I wasn't sure where to put to this article link so that's why it's here.
Even the macbook and macbook pro?!
Especially the macbook and macbook pro, but thankfully they are precious assets to humanity rendering them impervious to fire.
(and coincidentally high altitude serpents)
because acting tough is half the battle.
