If you didn't make an immediate connection between Japan's nuclear disasters and Godzilla, the mutant product of atomic radiation and the star of dozens of films, you're a better man than I.

one of my coworkers believes that god was punishing the bad japanese people. i asked if she thought pat robertson was right when he said new orleans was hit by a hurricane as punishment. she said yes. i told her i'd think she was onto something if detroit or chicago was nailed by a hurricane, rather than a city right on the gulf of mexico. she didn't get my sarcasm. wonder if she's a wnba fan...
