Dude, the only thing that will even make it this far is radioactive nitrogen, which is in such small quantities that by the time it gets here it'll be so dilute that the background radiaition levels will be higher. Even in Japan, the radiactive species that were released are so short lived that by the time you say NUCLEAR DISASTER they have broken down into smaller, harmless, non-radiative elements.

I'd advise people to stop smoking before worrying about the nuclear stuff from Japan shortening your life span, you'll live longer.

Banannas!

No really, BED people. Think of this in terms of Bananna equivalents, and the amount of radiation you MIGHT see here (or currently in Tokyo for that matter), is really quite trivial.

Bananas have radiation?? lol ....Brazil nuts will make you glow?? Is it just me?

[ScubaSteve]

I propose that we universally begin using bananas as the new unit for radiation... so does this mean that someone dropped a Banana Bomb on Tokyo?

Some people feed bananas to their fish...

And then his corals end up glowing. No comment about his blue nuts acro from this guy though.

We probably get more radiation from the sun on high solar activity periods or CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) than from other sources, or from bananas! Isn't science fun.
