Enjoyed your humor. Here's an exchange I pulled off Deja News...

Amazing, amazing, amazing...the "scientists" have brought us a completely new
way to grow crops. We can simply truck seeds in one end of a blue-glowing
football-field sized "irradiation facility" and haul abundant fruits and
veggies
out the other end.
And, quite importantly, the nukin' will destroy all *undesirable* life forms
without harming, in the least, the life forces of the food---or so the
"scientists" say.
But let's not stop here: nuclear waste is so cheap we could have two-for-one
days. Then we could double-nuke the food and actually increase it's vitality.
