    Nah, they're just inventing asbestos again.

    It's too soon to fear nano, since it hasn't yet really gone out of labs, but it's interesting what Airfax said about asbestos. Did you guys read Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson, the guy who wrote Snow Crash? Sci-fi novel in which everyone (i.e., the everyday population) begins wearing facemasks in order to prevent ingestion of nanites (as particulate matter) :)

    [Edited: meant particulate, as in ppm]

    I have a friend guy... senior... ex firefighter... long time retired who's hands are shaking like hell. Once I asked him what a hell is going on and he told me that when he worked as firefighter they never used masks, they will just put piece of a dump cloth over their mouths and do their jobs in a houses loaded with asbestos dust all over. Inhalation of it causes him to end up with that whatever disease - shaking hands.
    The other guy I met in airplane while ago flying back to Canada, who has same problem of shaking hands ( I mean badly shaking hands ) told me story about overdosed amount of eating fish from Canadian's Lakes up north. Now you will ask your self what fish has to do with shaking hands. Well They mined out mercury from the bottom of th lakes. Mercury will float up at the surface of the lake, they will collect it but good amount of it will remain in lakes. That way it will accumulate in to fish system and later on into human body system. Mercury poisoning by eating fish. Even now there is regulation that say how much in Pounds/Kilos you can eat fish from lakes Up North per Year. So you control the intake of mercury in to your body belove dangerous level.
    Isn't that fu...g awful.

    We've created carbon nanotubes by growing carbon particles on different kinds of metal! It's incredible!

    We've discovered that our nanotubes contain different kinds of metal!

    well duuuuuuuuuuuuuuh...

    No
    we should not fear nanotubes
    we should not fear swine flu
    we shouldn't fear airbus, North Korea, or Chinese rioters

    "News" is about ratings which is about drama which is about gullible watchers watching.

    What we sholud fear is Sho Nuff, I mean that guy is scary, I think it's the shoulder pads.
