Gamma-Ray Scanning
Sometimes the internal emails that fly around the CBC are pretty classic. This one went out this afternoon.
“As part of the construction required to install new UPS (uninterruptible power supply) servers in the Broadcasting Centre, we will be conducting two separate building operations this week that involve gamma ray scanning and/or core drilling.”
Gamma-ray scanning. Core drilling. WTF?
If it sounds like science fiction, it kinda is. According to NASA gamma-rays are the smallest waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. They’re generated by radioactive atoms and nuclear explosions. Gamma-ray scanning allows you to see into otherwise opaque objects. Here’s a shot of two stowaways inside a container truck by the Department of Homeland Security.
Oh, and one more thing, gamma-rays kill living cells.
So if you’re working overnight in Toronto on Wednesday and Thursday avoid the 6th and 7th floors, for the exact times and locations click here.

Wow! Wonder what it’ll do with the Asbestos that fill the walls…
You should post the other memo that came out today about SNC Lavalin-Profac teaming up with the Real Estate Division to confiscate unauthorized coffee machines that they find…
So the two guys are in the truck are dead, right? Were they Classic Radio 2 personalities? Does this explain why so many changes happened? Homeland Security rayed the Radio 2 truck studios? Now I’m starting to understand. I like conspiracy theories better than that the CBC didn’t want me as a listener.
