[ RadSafe ] Uranium in the hair of autistic children URGENT

[Maury Siskel]

Oh dear, some of the tooth fairies must have escaped their cages and 
mated! Now we are finding hairy fairies -- the world threats and risks 
continue to escalate! Keep an eye on the sky -- should you spot anything 
falling and fuzzy, seek shelter immediately!
Happy Monday to all,
