I might be wrong but it wouldn't surprise me to find out that they are pretty much normal.

[edited to add:] Not that I'm trying to say that radiation's not dangerous or anything like that. I left my tinfoil hat in the closet where it belongs.

Is either model even relavent? aplha radiation has a hard time passing through a single sheet of paper or just several metres of air never mind layers of skin. I'm not sure how much beta or even gamma radiation you might be getting from the decay products though. I definitely wouldn't want to eat off it.
Part of the UK have sufficiently high radiation from radon gas that nuclear sites cannot be opened there because they'd already exceed legal radiation limits. I'd like to know what the cancer rates are like in those areas.

It's not made that clear in the video, but the reason he says that the plate is safe to store and handle, but not eat off is because Uranium 238 is usually an alpha emitter. Alpha radiation doesn't penetrate skin that well, but it is very dangerous when ingested and the soft tissues become exposed to it. Please correct me if I'm wrong there.

Depends on if you believe in radiation hormesis or linear no-threshold model . Most likely the truth is somewhere in-between (which by default makes hormesis "more" accurate). In the end, though, it is always best to avoid ingesting heavy metals, radioactive or not.
Learning lots about radiation as of late. There is a lot of fear factor behind it, even though our daily lives are pretty much consumed with radiation...NEATO! Bones full of radioactive carbon, potassium, you name it, you most likely have lots of radioactive isotopes of it Once again, truth stranger than fiction


I find the argument between those two models quite fascinating, they both make sense TBH. One interesting thing I found out recently was the enormous difference in radiation exposure between regular x-ray's and CT scans when visiting the doctor. It makes sense that CT scans expose you to more radiation because they make multiple passes to get a better image - however the difference astonished me - a regular chest xray would expose you to 0.06 mSv while a helical CT scan of the chest would expose you to 8 mSV - thirten hundred and thirty three times as much radiation (although the effective dose only ends up being about one hundred times as much). As a comparison point, the typical human is exposed to 2-3 mSv per year, so with a helical chest CT you're getting 3 years worth of radiation in a few seconds.

Thanks for the promote!

No fiesta at the end?

Having spent far too much time on the internet, I'm genuinely surprised that the video didn't end with one or more of these girls:
- whipping out their cock for a little pickle surprise shock and horror effect
- receiving a FIESTA


Same here! I didn't even enjoy it (that much) because I was worried about the ending.

Was expecting more of a Butt Bongo Fiesta.


I think you should be thankful it's a pretty ass. I can sure deliver a Butt Bongo Fiesta, but it's going to be way more hairy!

And now, for the fiesta!

I have submitted this;

RETARDATION FIESTA.

Will do volumptuous. Never heard of him before yesterday - I was reading comments in that British TV Car show featuring the Ford Fiesta when someone mentioned the name of 2 songs by Amon Tobin. Went to youtube, and found this one, and loved it!


Hey that was my comment. Awesome.
