Alexander the Great
by Anonymous
Four men stood by the grave of a man,
The grave of Alexander the Proud:
They sang words without falsehood
Over the prince from fair Greece.
Said the first man of them:
“Yesterday there were around the king
The men of the world–a sad gathering!
Though to-day he is alone.”
“Yesterday the king of the brown world
Rode upon the heavy earth:
Though to-day it is the earth
That rides upon his neck.”
“Yesterday,” said the third wise author,
“Philip’s son owned the whole world:
To-day he has nought
Save seven feet of earth.”
“Alexander the liberal and great
Was wont to bestow silver and gold:
To-day,” said the fourth man,
“The gold is here, and it is nought.”
Thus truly spoke the wise men
Around the grave of the high-king:
It was not foolish women’s talk
What those four sang.
Radiation Cleanup
Humble fungi found in most back gardens could help clean up battlefields contaminated with depleted uranium.
At present, sites can be partial decontaminated by physically collecting and disposing of fragments from shells. However, radioactive particles and dust from explosions remain in the soil, preventing full reclamation.
Now, a research team in Scotland has established that common fungi can grow on and chemically lock away the offending uranium. As their hyphal filaments sprawled across fragments of depleted uranium, the tubules gradually became coated in a yellowy mineral.
