Where's That Radioactive Sulfur Now? Possibly In Your Pants
When the news broke yesterday that a previously unreported type of fallout from Fukushima—radioactive sulfur—had reached the United States in late March, nearly all mainstream media reports made the claim that it poses no threat to the health of Americans. But none of them explained where the radioactive sulfur went.

And if you’re a man, you may be interested to know that some miniscule portion of it could be in your testicles.

6. So that explains all the corndoggery.
High cholesterol and bad press is safer alternative than a hot load of sulfur.

Seriously - it's astounding how the media and OUR government has managed to shove Fukishima under the carpet as well and as long has it has.

8. Radiating men's testicles does get their attention
Edited on Wed Aug-17-11 01:21 PM by Generic Other
It is one thing men do care about...

So maybe the mainstream media will get busy and do some reporting? I suppose the problem is that none of their communication's majors with the straight teeth and blonde hair have enough science ability to even cover any real stories. They do field interviews. That means they have to know what to ask. It is easy to ask how Celebrity X feels about the divorce, quite another thing to ask insightful questions about the dangers of nuclear contamination.
