RE: Dr. Durakovic at Port Hope / Two-headed animals

I also saw a two-headed stuffed calf of some kind around 1962 - in the 

Natural History Museum in Stockholm. It was probably relatively old already 

then so it can hardly have been nuclear power generated. Here is another 

challenge - a two headed eagle - found on a bottle from the year 1751:

(scroll down - sorry about the Swedish text - the bottle itself was found in 

a crop field not far south of Stockholm):

How about _suggesting_ a hypothesis here: I exclude ideas involving uranium 

in the ceramics reaching the gonads of the eagle (politically correct stuff 

can violate logic)?



Actually this is serious stuff about risk communication. After the Chernobyl 

explosion people ran to the media with unusually large dandelions and other 

2-3 standard devations observations. The media were often quick to swallow 

that type of biology.



My personal initiative only,

>According to the good doctor, it is quite

amazing that the original folk in Paducah are not all dead and the workers

all replaced by all the two-headed babies that were born in 1953.   After

all, "two heads are better than one".   I actually did see a stuffed

two-headed calf at the Univerisity of California at Davis back in about

1962.  Apparently that wasn't the only two-headed calf ever born.
