Excessively plethoric on twaddle today.

Saw this on the BBC website - a 'banana equivalent dose' for radiation.  So, given 1 Sv and 1Gy are, to a first approximation, the same thing, and given I received 50 of them earlier this year, that's the same as being bashed on the boob by around 50 million bananas... Nuts!  Or bananas even.

Quite a neat idea, but not really sure it will catch on.  Back in the day when I was in the industry we used coffee, brazil nuts, transatlantic flights and Aberdeen granite to try something similar... it never quite convinced people.
