Radiation Dosage Chart


Now, I know this isn't really that geek-related, but did you know that if you ate 1,000,000 bananas you would die of radiation poisoning? Of course that's if you could eat that many bananas without giving up or vomitting so much you died, but that isn't the point.

This chart explains the different amounts of radiation given off from different objects, including bananas, plane journeys and more. I also read on a different chart that sleeping next to another person gives you half the amount of radiation that a banana does, so make sure you stay on the safe side and do what I do, sleep alone and have no human interaction, especially with females.
