RE: Radioactive Bugs

[Ellen_Hochheiser@RL.gov]

Hey folks,

As health physics professionals, we are responsible to insure that the
public understands radiation and not the myths which are propagated by
the masses and the media.  If we want the public to understand what
radiation can and can not do, do you think it is appropriate that we
make extra leg jokes?

I assume this would explain the so called "millipede" reported by Harold
Reynolds. Probably started life as an ant.
