All the Polonium-210 in milk and groundwater.
A study released Friday by the US Geological Survey found the radioactive isotope in 24 private wells and one public well around Fallon, about 60 miles east of Reno. Polonium-210 is known to cause cancer in humans.
All dairies around Fallon sell their milk to the Dairy Farmers of America cooperative, which in turn markets the milk to a dairy in Reno and plants in northern California.
…Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian security agent, was killed in London last year with a dose of polonium-210
The second in a series.

Indeed, gin is a known disinfectant. Can’t be too careful!
Many a politician has been known to wash his mouth out with gin instead of soap, when the latter would be more appropriate. If there were justice on Earth I would get their gin and they would get my soap (not that I’m bitter lately). Sure I’d get smelly after awhile, but I wouldn’t care.
OT: I have a friend who’s English, although he lives down here in Greater Vansterdam. I said to him one day that he had a tan so he must have been on holiday and he replied, “No, I’ve just stopped washing, to fit in better.”
Hey, if you come up this way you could bring some Vancouver tap water. The alternative in some parts of this area is unpalatable. However, it’s said that people bathing in it emerge radiant.
Niiiiiice. That explains so much about your neighbors.
What?–I give you an opening like that and you direct the sequitur at the neighbours?
You must be sickening for something. See your doctor.
Nah – my late mother always advised :
Don’t get too friendly with the Doctors – you’re always ill when you see them
Now that Coors has taken over the local Brewery, I’d defect to Old Peculiar beer, alternating with Black Sheep beer, if you find the Nig is affecting your Spelling

Waitaminit: that’s in English. No way is that G Eagle!
Clearly Herr EAgle has taken his own ad(ler) vice, and is indulging in Peculiar things along with Black Scheep.
He is indulging in Black Scheep? He’s a Kiwi?
