Re: Can't fix stupid.

I work at a VA hospital, those that didn't die from leukemia have developed cataracts. They just didn't understand the danger at the time and the sure didn't do much in the way of shielding the people who operated them.

I remember watching a guided missile cruiser testing the tight beam director radar for the Standard Missile. They had it at full power and I watched pelicans fly into the beam and where instantly fried and fell into the water. They sure don't do this anymore at least where anyone can see it, PETA would poop their pants.

Did the professor die of leukemia like a friend of my fathers did. Nat was a radio engineer that wound up getting a job with Raython after graduating from college and just before WWII. He worked on a new technology called R-A-D-A-R. Unfortunately he and many of his colleges died of leukemia. The only common factor was the constant exposure to Microwave Energy during the development of the Magnetron Tube.
