Badger Nov 2019 9:52pm, 6 Nov 2019 11,549 posts	0 Badger bananas are slightly radioactive True, mainly from the potassium content. There is a thing called the Banana Equivalent Dose, used to put the dose of radiation from something like an X-ray into context. I'm not sure of the exact dose from the neck CT I had after a car crash, but it must have been around 10,000 bananas, probably about what I've eaten in the last 30 years. The X-ray I had when I smashed my shoulder up in January would have been more like 10 bananas. xkcd.com

TRO Saracen Nov 2019 10:13pm, 6 Nov 2019 19,960 posts	0 TRO Saracen As others have said..... I wonder what call I’d make if I suspected a health issue that, if confirmed, would kybosh Kona. Don’t really want to think about the conflict that would rage (even though the answer is obvious). Well done Greppers. Good luck Sir.....
