Ann Coulter In Low Doses Is Bad For You [p1]

A response to Ann's claims this year that radiation might in fact be good for you. Yes this is pretty late as far as responses go, but I keep being distra- oh look pizza!

Part 2 will be "soon" in the standard Ainulindale time-frame... but I promise i'll try real hard :]

Is the bonus points head Michael Palin as Pontius Pilate in the Life of Brian?

[Ainulindale21]

@kievthegreat

Ding ding ding! Award yourself twelve internets

[MyPisceanNature]

Shouldn't one go to a Medical Doctor when asking about the health risks of radiation, instead of a Physicist?

[Ainulindale21]

@MyPisceanNature

It overlaps various areas, so physicists and medical epidemiologists are the go-to guys for radiation risks, and of course unqualified youtubers who do all their work in microsoft paint :]

Oops, not scorpion ...Mindfart (It's 6 AM, and haven't had morning coffee yet). I meant "Reptile".

[Gekkibi]

@KamiKagutsuchi

"Scorpion".

[KamiKagutsuchi]

@Gekkibi What is the intro music called again? I love the music but there is so long since I heard it last and I have completely forgotten what it was called.

[IVscythia]

Well, she is right in a wierd way, extremly hig doses of radiation DOES reduce ones chances of getting cancer, seeing how one dies within a few days after exposure........

[2cabs2toucan]

Radiation puts hairs on your chest.

@Ainulindale21 I feel a distinct easing of anxiety. Thank you.
