[ RadSafe ] Madonna's magical nuclear waste cure "Kabbalah fluid can clean it up"

[John Jacobus]

Probably not as well researched as Hedy Lamarr's
radio-controlled torpedo:

Hedy Lamarr, Inventor of Radio Controlled Torpedo

Born in Austria as Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, Hedy
Lamarr was an A list actress in the 1930s and 40s, and
was billed as the most beautiful woman in the world. 

She and a co-inventor also concieved of a way to
control torpedoes by a constantly changing radio
frequency so that it could not be jammed.  The
shortcoming of radio controlled torpedoes was that the
control signal could be jammed on any particular
frequency.  Ms. Larmar and her partner thought of the
way to get around a jamming signal, by having the
controller and the receiver in the torpedo change
frequency in unison and continually, so the signal
could not be jammed.  The controller and the receiver
on the torpedo would change frequency at predetermined
times, to predetermined frequencies so that a jamming
signal could not follow the sequence.  The exact
configuration of coordinating the frequency changes
that Lamarr came up with was not used, but the idea of
frequency changing is used in many technologies today.

>From an article about physicians doing clinical studies: 

"It was just before an early morning meeting, and I was really trying to get to the bagels, but I couldn't help overhearing a conversation between one of my statistical colleagues and a surgeon.

Statistician: "Oh, so you have already calculated the P value?"

Surgeon: "Yes, I used multinomial logistic regression."

Statistician: "Really? How did you come up with that?"

Surgeon: "Well, I tried each analysis on the SPSS drop-down menus, and that was the one that gave the smallest P value"."
