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.

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?

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.
