yah...no kidding, I have absolutely no idea what any of the dosage rates really mean anymore, because there have been so many different ways of recording and reporting radiation levels, what you do hear sounds terrifying until you do the complicated conversion math and find out the CAT scan you just had gave you more radiation than a whole meal of spinach that was grown 10 miles from a Japanese nuclear reactor...

It’s hard to judge who is more hysterical these days, people raving about radiation dangers or those raving about Obammy finally kicking Kadaffy’s ass...

I never get my MDR of radiation. I don’t like diets and I just can’t stick with any regimen of pills.

The chart was a bit hard to read for its size but I did see that a person would get twice as much radiation eating a banana as sleeping next to someone assuming that someone was not a monkey, I guess.

So since I really like bananas my mate has to sleep in the guest room. “Sorry dear, it was you or the bananas and I like them a bunch more. Get it? Bunch more?”

I hope there’s not much radiation in an unheated garage. I might have to give up bananas.

You're not just pimping your blog; you also "forgot" to mention that you "borrowed" the chart from xkcd.com, without accreditation except for a nearly invisible link on your blog post.

Please, at least have the decency to give credit where credit is due. A lot of hard work -- none of it yours, as far as I know -- went into this chart.

Shame...

It also shows that you are exposed to more radiation living near a coal fired power plant than near a nuclear power plant,

Until one of the power plant that does not burn coal melts down. Do you really not understand the concerns regarding nuclear or are you purposely distorting the issue? The concern is not the level of radiation while the plant is in normal operation. You must know that.
