COLD CASE CARBON 14

Knowing I’m a sucker for both crime and weird science, our pal HCB (may his initials be blessed) sent me over the following from Fox of all places.…

“Former U.S. nuclear weapons titan Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is applying its bomb know-how to help solve police cold cases. Lawrence Livermore was established in the Cold War to advance American nuclear weapons. The lab was responsible for many pivotal advances, from thermonuclear missile warheads for submarines to developing the first high-yield warheads small enough to be carried in bulk on a ballistic missile. Now the national lab is applying its expertise in nuclear "bomb pulse" radiocarbon analysis to help solve cold cases…and have created a new way to figure out ages and birth dates on those cases  The new approach, combining Livermore’s bomb know-how with new anthropological analysis and forensic DNA techniques, has already yielded results.” Click here for all.

SUNDAY BREAKFAST

“Farren has a habit – when he can be bothered to make a Sunday post in the dismal wake of Saturday night – of running something under the generic title of “Sunday Breakfast” which can about pretty much anything – bacon, bourbon, or baroque behavior, rubber or rubbing alcohol. And this is immediately followed by something called “Marilyn Sez…” in which I contribute some smart-ass one liner of either the great cynicism or morbid philosophy of which only a dead movie goddess, deeply embedded in the conspiracy theories of the 20^th century, would be capable. Today, the two have finally melded and we wonder if this is a coincidence, a happy accident, or a deliberate penetration of a major reality membrane possibly engineered by agents of Ah Puch the Destroyer. And talking of membranes and Ah Puch the Destroyer older Doc40 readers will recall that this all started with an inter-reality psycho-fi quasi-fumetti called “The Adventures Of Marilyn” that concluded when I decided I didn’t want to be a Dionysian agent in the Apollonian War On Chaos and more. The “The Adventures Of Marilyn” may be long gone but the classic episodes are still entombed in their own blog and you are all invited to revisit it. Just click here (but remember it’s a blog and it runs backwards. What else in psycho-fi?)
