Smoke spews from vicinity of Niigata nuclear power plant in Japan... MORE... Police officials said there was no sign of radioactive leakage; apparently came from chemical reaction of sulfuric acid that presumably leaked on the third basement floor from a pipe neutralizing waste liquids from the nuclear reactor.... MORE...

Nothing follows. Any more info out there?

Looks like it's 'Zilla time...

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Thanks a lot. Now I have Blue Oyster Cult's 'Godzilla' stuck in my head! :-)

[CougarGA7]

Argh! Now I have it stuck in my head too.

It could be worse - you could have the Macarena stuck there instead.

[hchutch]

Think he's on the way?

The problem with Blue Oyster Cult's song Godzilla i s"That there isn't enough cowbell in it!" "It needs more cowbell!"

[dirtboy]

Or, even worse, an image of Godzilla doing the Macarena (but with much more aplomb than AlGore)...

Even Godzilla thinks you're a bunch of tin-foilers...

[lelio]

Just a minor correction that irks me: acid doesn't cause "smoke" -- its vapor like when you're boiling water.

Just tell him that Mothra is secretly working with Kim Jong Il, Saddam Hussein, Chavez, Lula, and Mugabe.

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them
He picks up a camero and he throws it back down 
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he's got to go go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla

History shows again and again 
How nature points up the folly of men

Godzilla doing the Macarena

Great, now THAT image is stuck in my brain...

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he's got to go go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men

[chnsmok]

You beat me!
