I highly doubt that's accurate.

Well, that's what I get for quitting Fallout 3 after about two hours.

Anyone who didn't immediately realize that map was fake is a n00b at the internet. Or a n00b at science. Probably both.

I just read that potassium iodide anti-radiation pills are sold out darn near nationwide. N00BS AT SCIENCE

CoconutMikeNIke · « **Reply #14 on:** March 17, 2011, 09:44:04 PM »

And te people selling the stuff for 24x their value. Win at capitalism, Fail at not being dicks.

This all explains why my copy of Pokemon White is glowing bright green and pulsates when I touch it.

They were all purchased by Kent Hovind.

I would be interested to see how the graphs of people buying iodide in bulk and the graphs of people who talk for several hours every day on their cellphone overlap.

CoconutMikeNIke · « **Reply #18 on:** March 18, 2011, 10:21:28 AM »

... Because you believe there is a correlation between people that are ill informed about a current disaster and people that have a moderate to busy social schedule? Or is it due to some old man, Andy Rooney rant?

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #19 on:** March 18, 2011, 11:21:17 AM »

No, I mean the long-term effects of consistent exposure to Wi-Fi, cell phone signals, and such. I know it's not the same kind of radiation, but I just think there's an interesting contrast to be theoretically observed here in how people respond to highly publicized, exciting-sounding danger versus more subtle risks.

That chart is so wrongzos. Everyone's already concluded that it's fairly inaccurate. And I know nothing about nuclear or radiation-related jazz, but how could it reach that far anyway even if this was true?
