For some reason, the 30 bananas a day made me think of the Cool Hand Luke egg eating scene.....

More people died at Chappaquiddick than at Three Mile Island.

The answer is obvious; bananas should be banned.

Food as radiological measurement units. Interesting.

Now if we could just get the propaganda machine media to stuff their mouths with bananas instead of the carefully crafted lies fed to them by their masters, and put banana peels over their eyes ...

Many foods are naturally radioactive, and bananas are particularly so, due to the radioactive potassium-40 they contain.

would i get sick sitting next to a pile of 1,000 bananas?

When you realize people work their whole career working in a banana plantation, you start to understand the difference between measurable radioactivity and meaningful radioactivity.

Whew, those banana pickers and tallymen are safe, since they don’t ingest bananas.

Day-O ......

How many bananas is 8217 microsieverts per hour?

Just curious, but bananas are not my favorite unless it is in a pudding. Can you convert that to pudding? ... and by the way, 40 Tbsp of peanut butter is a LOT OF peanut butter.. gees.

FWIW, if someone is talking to me and mentions the word "fifty" or the word "eggs", if the mood is right, I am quite likely to suddenly say, "I can eat 50 eggs."

People who know me, roll their eyes and say, "How much time?"

And, of course, the answer is: "One hour."
