Is that a banana in your pants, or are you smuggling a dirty bomb?
from Wikipedia: the Banana equivalent dose
Many foods are naturally radioactive, and bananas are particularly so, due to the radioactive potassium-40 they contain. The banana equivalent dose is the radiation exposure received by eating a single banana. ....
Bananas are radioactive enough to regularly cause false alarms on radiation sensors used to detect possible illegal smuggling of nuclear material at US ports.[4]
headsup Via Joe Carter
however, Snopes points out they have fiber, the tryptophan in them helps seasonal affective disorder, depression and PMS, and a banana milkshake is a great cure for hangovers.
so enjoy!
