[QUOTE=Jamsponge;45029261]It's weird to think, in thousands of years both of those things will be of similar value, just different time periods.[/QUOTE] Doubtful. In a thousand years, we'll have recordings of what graffiti is and what it looks like due to present day photographs and other kinds of media. The cave painting, on the other hand, comes from a time when man was illiterate and had few resources to survive. They will never be the same.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;45027653]Fun Fact: Pepsi was allowed in the USSR. Coca-Cola was not. My dad has (in our storage unit so no pics) bottle caps of Pepsi in Cyrillic that he got back in the 80s.[/QUOTE] Yup, Coca-Cola deliberately avoided trying to do business within the USSR because they were worried of damaging their image to the American people, Pepsi had no such qualms and took advantage of the opportunities posed by a market free of their biggest competitor. I always thought it was kind of ironic that despite this it's Coca-Cola that's primary color is red while Pepsi is red white and blue. Although, back during the 1940s Coca Cola produced a variant of their product that was free of coloring and brand markings on the special request of Soviet military leader Georgy Zhukov, who himself rather liked the drink but couldn't be caught drinking it in public.

I imagine if the full 100mt detonation was tested it might've kicked off the nuclear war it was made for.

[QUOTE=Rents;45033519]Water itself is a great nuclear moderator as well.[/QUOTE] Wrong terminology - you want "radiation shield". It's true that water is a good moderator, but that doesn't stop most radiation. All it does is slow down neutrons, allowing them to interact better with other nuclei - in other words, they let a nuclear reaction chain better, but that's not what you should be concerned with. Pollution is not going to get close to critical mass, no matter how much moderator you have. Water is also a good radiation shield, though - it's good at blocking most types of radiation. It's not the best, but there's also a lot of it so it adds up. But that's still not quite right, because the danger from nuclear pollution isn't usually the radiation itself, it's that the radioactive particles can enter the food chain or otherwise make it into your body. Water is a good solvent, in general, so nuclear material in water can easily be ingested.

[QUOTE=gman003-main;45034750]I think that's bigger than my kidneys are.[/QUOTE] From the xray we can safely assume it is. I'm just wondering how it was formed, that thing is definitely not going through the renal pelvis, let alone the ureters. Did it just form in the bladder or something? Checked my copy of Tortora for some accurate figures as I can't for the life of me find a decent KUB which shows the kidneys clearly enough to post here, so the average kidney is 10-12cm long, 5-7 cm wide and 3cm thick, weighing around 150g. That stone is just gargantuan.

How do kidney stones form anyway so I can try and avoid them?

[QUOTE=Cows Rule;45036354]How do kidney stones form anyway so I can try and avoid them?[/QUOTE] Basically kidney stones are made from various minerals - commonly calcium, though they can form from other things too such as uric acid. You get the calcium from your diet, some is used by your body, and the excess is filtered from your blood by the kidneys. The minerals build up, and a little stone is formed. It's perfectly normal for tiny little ones (we're talking like 1mm or smaller) to pass out, and you won't actually notice them, it's only when they grow a fair bit - normally around 3-4mm or so that they start to become a problem. Dehydration is a major factor, as there's less fluid, allowing for the stones to increase in size, whilst if you have a lot of fluid, the minerals will be passed out of the kidneys, into the ureters, then the bladder and out. Easiest form of prevention is to stay hydrated, though they can still happen.
