Radioactive Plants survive Chernobyl and adapt, mutated grains anyone?

[Slythernite]

If I eat one of those plants, what superpower do I get?

I believe you get one of two superpowers, radiation poisoning and/or death.

 

[Sacman]

All we need is Zombies in Chernobyl and it's plants VS Zombies!

haven't you played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. there are already zombies there...

OT: lame tell me when they find a chimera...

Shitty games promised to be good= Really bad fallout to companys from fans about shittyness and crap.

This could've been an interesting thread if the stuff you typed made any sense at all.

Seriously. Is Sega supposed to represent the radiation? What?

how much easier could it be? sega represents a bomb launching facility, the Bad sonic games are the bombs (do not ask about the good ones) the lands that are tested on are the comsumers and fans, and the fallout is the end result. i will be slamming my head against a desk out of stress until further notice.

1. Bombs don't get launched. Bombs don't have a propulsion system, those are missiles, bombs get dropped.

2. Chernobyl was a powerplant meltdown, not caused by a nuclear weapon.

It does not matter if I messed up the term....the point is that it is more clear on what my statement was about sega and not about bombs. you get what I ment about sega and fallout now leave it alone please.

No, your analogy makes no sense in the context of what this thread is about, now stop defending it.

Well... originally it did:

"The plants had to cope with even more fallout than Sega did after they made a series of awful Sonic games"

But I don't think it's really relevant to this thread any more, what with it now being about exactly what happened at the Chernobyl power plant reactor in question.

Lame. It's only flax seed and soy junk. Had it been an awesome grain, I'd turn that shit into radioactive beer.

But on one hand you could have made the greatest freaking drink to all 21+ yearolds around (I really don't like underage drinking)or you could have essentially made a bottle full of liquid cancer.

Meh...liquid cancer is nothing compared to what Budweiser sells.

the super power to die a painful death I suppose... : )

Ooooh! Dress me up like Micheal Jackson, I volunteer!

OT: Mutant grain? No thanks. I'm from Saskatchewan, I value real grain that you can hold in your hands without fear of them falling off...

Although, maybe it could be made into radioactive bread!

[HEADING=2]Man eats radioactive bread, gets mutant bread super powers![/HEADING]

Hang on, I'm going to make this comic.

[sub][sub]Don't know what is up with the OP's thought process though >_>[/sub][/sub]

you get to become glowy man!

Spoiler

nah i don't actually thing there is a glowy man

Hey, you could still do that, just use regular ingredients, and ferment it in a nuclear reactor.

 

[willman137]

Chernobyl wasn't a bomb launching facility?

No, its where we were experimenting with nuclear powered sex-toys. Caused the workers to get, uh... "distracted" causing the gas buildup and eventual meltdown.

Because THATS historically accurate.

Ah if only... I bet nutritional skin (damn you soybeans! damn you to hell!)

Mind-controlling man-eating uberplants will kill us all!

Heh, the memories...

Huh, that's why the U.S. feared the Ussr nuclear powered sex.

They disabled the fail safes for maitenence and by coincidence they tested the fail safes the same day, causing a meltdown, but not an explosion.

Here's a fun picture of the reactor at any rate.

And it was an explosion. Many heard it.

It wasn't a coincidence by the way. They disabled safety systems to be able to test other ones.

the coincidence was that the failsafes were off when the accident happened.

Thanks to everyone who corrected my mistakes.

From what I've heard thats actually true.

 

[Clockwork Scarecrow.]

Its a metaphor

A bad one.

Given the fact that few plants yield significant nutrient and many are inherently toxic to people, the odds are pretty good that you'll get death even if you weren't dealing with mutant plants.

So what does that power do?

Edit:

Also, to poorly paraphrase a popular joke:

"In former Soviet Union plants survive nuclear plant meltdown and you don't."

 

[sunburst]

Its a comparison (of plants and sega) that does not use the words "like" or "as"

Yes it is. That doesn't make it a metaphor. The only thing even close to a metaphor is the unstated implication that the fallout Sega receives from their horrendous Sonic games is somehow nuclear. After that it's a direct comparison of the supposed intensity of two types of fallout. Turns out you don't need a either a simile or a metaphor to compare two things. Also, not all similes use the words "like" or "as." There are other possible conjunctions. And now that I've defended the English language in the most pedantic way possible, back on topic!

The most interesting part is that plants apparently have already adapted to radioactive environments and just need the catalyst to release what they can already do. If they can figure out a way to deconstruct these effects into other areas, could we more successfully grow plants in other areas not well suited to traditional farming? Also, if a hot redhead eats some of those plants then can I have my Poison Ivy? Pretty please?

 

[vanthebaron]

the part about plants growing is old news but the genetic think is new.

More on topic, it looks like it's time for another trip into the Zone.

Day of the Triffids anyone?

Seriously, radioactive killer Russian plants on the loose all through Europe...I can see it now...
