Toxic Trains - Coming Soon to a Neighborhood Near You
There is nothing more haunting than the sound of a train whistle. There is also nothing more terrifying. Thanks to federal resistance to regulating transport of toxic chemicals, residents of rail hub cities across the country don’t know if the trains they hear are carrying harmless cargo or something more deadly.
Not that the labeling on the rail cars gives anything away. Contents are identified only by codes that require a guidebook to decipher. The Department of Transportation’s Emergency Response has provided just such a list (http://hazmat.dot.gov/pubs/erg/psnsort.htm). It makes for scary reading:
* 2810 denotes Sarin, Soman and Lewisite, 1798 (hydrochloric acid), 12591010 (butadiene) and 1824 (sodium hydroxide), all toxic if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. (nickel carbonyl)
* 1541, acetone cyanohydrin, is so dangerous that emergency responders are advised not to provide mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to persons who may have inhaled it.

From my friend, Linda...
The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, "Kemo Sabe, look towards sky, what you see?"
The Lone Ranger replies, "I see millions of stars."
"What that tell you?" asked Tonto.
The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow."
"What's it tell you, Tonto?"
"You dumber than buffalo shit! Someone stole tent."
