KI

Or is it KIO3?  Anyway...

You've all panicked and taken a whole bottle of Potassium Iodide pills haven't you?  And now you are finding you can't order them off the internet for love or money?  So what will you do if they say it's time to take you KI pills become the plume is overhead?

Relax.  Eat 3 bananas.  Oops, now you've doubled your radiation exposure.  Or it would be doubled if you lived about 20 miles or so from one of the stricken power plants in Japan.
Want to cut your cancer risk way back?  Stop smoking.  The Japanese reactors aren't going to mean anything to you if you live in the U.S.A., chances are. 

Radiation ain't black magic.  Your risk from zombies is much greater.

(T-bolt?  Do YOU have KI pills, just in case?  Well... let's just say, 'better safe than sorry'.  I've certainly not felt the need to pop em like Tic Tacs)

Can I just take Potassium Iodide and still smoke? No? Smoke Potassium Iodide?

Smoke bananas?

The halflife of this kind of airborn fallout is 8 days.

BTW, you can get Potassium Iodine tablets at your local healthfood hippie vitamin store.

What kind of airborne fallout, JB? Nitrogen 14? That's like 8 seconds.

More folks will die from intermittant electric supply than will be harmed with radiation, in Japan, is my prediction.

I bet you can't get KI at the hippy store now...

New Jovian Thunderbolt said...

Ooops, Nitroen 16, not 14.

See? THIS media source is almost as clueless as MSM sources. I charge a lot less for my services, too.

You would be what you can get at those "Vitamin Stores". They have the best "Power Bar" selection. Body builders need the highest calorie protein bars they can get.

Bulk multi-vitamins and more for those with preparation tendencies.

But doesn't Radiation OverExposure lead to the birth of Zombies? Or is it just Giant Ants and Japanese Dinosaurs? I'm confused.

New Jovian Thunderbolt said...

It can, Les. It can.
