If that’s insanity then humans have been insane for thousands of years. People talking out their asses isn’t new at all

By that logic a little plutonium never hurt anybody. And you’d be quite right. But now we have a big hill of the refined stuff.

And believe it or not it was even more filled with utter bullshit than anything today. Remember when we thought diseases were caused by bad smells?
