Hope you’re right, because between years of dental X-rays and now Fukushima clouds over my head, I’m darned near glowing in the dark. Is that a good thing?

Yes. When the electricity goes out in the middle of the night, you don't have to try to remember where you left the flashlight.

No, it's not! The narwhals have you and they are sucking out your brains! Move to Antarctica! Now! It's not too late to save yourself! Yearrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Get a couple more x-rays. Think of the lifetime savings on D-cell batteries alone.

The worst stuff, like I-131, have short half-lives. I-131 has a half-life of around 8 days, thus I can't imagine that we received anything significant. As for longer-lasting isotopes, perhaps a little story? One of my professors had a good sized chunk of uranium ore stuffed in the top drawer of his desk for decades. He was crazy, but never developed cancer. ;) For grins, you might be interested in a real-time rad map of the US.
