I Hope nobody flames me for this post.I Was just wondering if anyone knows if the US Postal S. has begone to nuke the mail yet.I caught a little on it on the news,it looks that they are going to be doing so soon, if so what does the newbie do for his spores.I For one Im not yet self suficient enuff to keep things rolling without the Vendors.Does anyone know if they will be shipping by other meens than the US Postal S.??I Hope people dont flame me for this,the NUKE thing is true and,will happen soon if it has not yet allready begun.Please reply with any info or your thouts on this topic.PEACE OUT ..

This has been greatly discussed during the past few days, check the posts for details.
Anyway even if they do "nuke" the mail spores that are in syringes shouldn't be harmed, same goes for properly packed spore prints.
I don't know why the fuck those american idiots are doing such a thing, if a damn arab or whoever wants to send anthrax to someone they would just need to put it in a steryle container and then tape it up.
Of course, by "nuking" any traces of anthrax on the actual packages will be removed, but that's just plain st00pid.

sporechase13, i won't flame you for asking. i presume since spores aren't "living" organisms they probably have a good chance ne way. So don't worry about the spores...
The U.S.P.S. has contracted a private company for, ummm, i think $2.6 million to x-ray (i think it's simply x-rays, they leave no residual radiation, btw) for three months + option to extend - this all begining in a few weeks. Did you know the postal system gets almost 600 anthrax hoaxes daily? Did you know postal workers have died from anthrax?
There is nothing worth loosing HUMAN LIFE.

dunno about this whole thing, but I believe I heard it was just x-rays also... if they where nuking all the mail that would result in a lot of stuff getting messed up. Also, spores are pretty sturdy... heh, here's an experiment... go nuke a spore syringe in the microwave and see if they're still ok afterwords.

Uhm, how can a plant grow then?
After all, it comes from a simple seed and water, both of which aren't living organisms.
It's a simple process, inorganic materials transforming into something organic and living, such as a plant, or in this case, fungi.
I see you've never studied science at school :)
I also want to thank the people that greeted me with a "fuck you" because I insulted their beloved american capitalistic system.
Sorry if you insulted your God.
regards

uhhh, ur wrong, living matter doesnt come from dead matter, every1 knows that. somethin has to be alive or in hybrination to make something.

With the very little knowledge i got in mycology... sterile spores don't intake/output anything or energy and so are dormant.

Inorganic material (non-living organisms) transform into organic material (duh) in many ways, for example, a plant comes from a seed because of water that initiates a growing process in the plant.
Of course nothing can be "made" from non-living organisms, you can't put a seed in the microwave and after 1 min get a plant out of it, but nature works because inorganic materials get transformed into organic materials.
By inorganic material, I don't mean "dead", I just mean "not alive", elements such as water aren't "living" but still induce chemical reactions which trigger growth in livings such as plants.
So, I'm right.

i'm not sure how to repond.
The whole point is to eliminate anthrax in the U.S.P.S. mail system. The reason is to save HUMAN LIFE.
The physics of x-radiation is simply high-frequency electromagnetic energy. The topic began with concerns of spores being "nuked". So what if spores get x-rayed? A very small price to pay in order to protect AMERICANS.
How about everyone calming down a bit about the spores, mmmkay?

Lemming don't talk unless you know what your talking about. Radiation is already used to sterilize foods alll over the world. It can easily penetrate any non dense material. Dense being lead or gold. It does not leave any dangerous levels, but it is very effective. What a sad world we live in where such actions are needed.

i think u need to check up on your definition of organic and inorganic. and organic compound is any form of matter which contains the element carbon. seeds r, in fact, organic compounds. if u dont mind, i would like an example of one of these "inorganic to organic" phenomenas. the only one i believe is theorized to exist is the only exception to the "cell theory" which states that all cells came from pre-existing cells (the exception being the very first cell).
