OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is likely an indication of an upcoming earth quake. It's a fault
line. Report this impending disaster to your local government
officials and tell them to prepare for a top knotch earthquake during
the next 72 hours.

Dont bother trying to get the installers to come. They already took
your money and left for their Paris vacation. Besides that, by the
time they could arrive, your home will be destroyed by the earthquake
and you could be dead from the counter falling on your skull.

If by chance you and your home do survive, rest assurred that in a few
years from now, granite will be out of style, and formica will be back
in style, and you'll be sending that granite countertop off to some
landfill, or else you'll be the laughing stock of the neighborhood for
not adhering to the latest trends in home repair.

By the way, if you were to die in the quake, God will still allow you
into heaven despite being the owner of this fracture. (but only if you
learn to keep your dick in your pants).

Funny.

Another useless piece of info:

Why do you believe the information is useless?

Actually, I'm using this to keep my wife from buying granite. I'm happy
with
my Formica counters.

Could there really be enough granite in a counter to produce enough radon
to
be dangerous?

I don't like them because they stain. Also, every house in town has them.

"they stain" not mine and its unsealed. Ive left coffee grounds on it
for months under the coffee machine. Now if you said very light colors
can be stained.

-----------------------------------

Yeah....granite comes in lots of colors and texture. Some of the darker and
more dense granite are less susceptible to staining. I have granite in my
master shower and it's holding up pretty well but I have a sink in the guest
bathroom that darkens from the soap. Some of the textures can hide the
stains well too.

Over all it's pretty and I'm not too concerned about the radon. It's mostly
the price. I think there are better cheaper materials. I've pretty much
talked my wife out of granite. Now she's talking about a vacation in Italy.
