Can't beat The Onion for nuke one-liners

The Onion 18-07-07
America's Finest (Parody) News Source gave me a chuckle with this faux vox pop quotation about the Japanese nuclear reactor fire this week: "What a shame. In every other respect, that earthquake zone was the perfect place to build a nuclear reactor."


Got any funny one-liners to share - leave them in the comments below!

Japan Times -- not a parody paper -- quotes a Tepco (nuclear power company) spokesperson saying such confidence-instilling stuff as:
"We did not assume an earthquake of this magnitude at the time of designing the nuclear power plant. After looking at aftershock location data, we have come to realize a fault lies right below the plant."
