"Chelsea talks about a certain Brazil tragedy involving nuclear material. Don't let your kid play in nuclear dust please. Cristina takes on a grand daddy conspiracy involving the moon! Did we ever land there and is it made of cheese?"

The Instituto Goiano de Radioterapia was a hospital in Brazil that was abandoned in 1985. They did this knowingly leaving radioactive material behind.

In 1987, Roberto dos Santos Alves and Wagner Mota Pereira broke into the hospital looking for salvage for sale. The took what they found home for disassembly. Inside one of the units was glowing blue powder. The two men began suffering from radiation poisoning that very night.

They would both undergo amputation. The daughter of a scrapyard owner, 6, died when she rubbed the powder on herself and some of it got onto her food. All told, 4 people died and nearly 250 were contaminated.

Takeaway: This isn't a video game. If it's glowing and shouldn't be, leave it alone.

The moon isn't real. But that doesn't mean we didn't land on it.

In 1969, NASA landed 3 men on the moon, becoming the first people in the modern age to reach it (the Vikings made it there C. 1000 A.D.

However, many people who (correctly) recognize the moon as fake, believe this never happened. Their reasons for the hoax are:


 * To win the Space Race
 * To get NASA funding (Table talk: Knowing how funding debate and struggles are, I can respect this one)
 * To distract from the Vietnam War (It didn't work).

There are numerous reason why the landing on the fake moon was real, but here's the zeroth reason: The Soviet Union had the technology to track us and would have 100% tattle on us.
