Finger split banana

November 28, 2010 By: Mai Truong Category: Fruits, Opinions


So I just learned this cool thing you can do with a banana finger and your finger. It works better with not-so-ripe bananas of course. Three way split all the times. Credit to Mudpie.

Then I told my mom about it. She said “Duh. You just now know?” 😀

For comeback, I told her (again, credit to Mudpie for telling me) that banana is used as a unit in measuring radioactivity. Like all foods (and living things, including you), banana radiates. It just happens that banana contains the radioactive isotope Potassium-40 (19 protons and 21 neutrons, 1 neutron more than stable Potassium) which makes it radiate a little bit more than other things. Fortunately for us the half life of Potassium-40 is over a billion years, so the amount of radiation a banana produces is less than 1/365 times the increase in cancer risk caused by 40 tablespoons of peanut butter.

In short, bananas may cause false alarm on nuclear radiation sensors at US ports, but it’s perfectly safe to eat one or two of them per day. 🙂 Or, if you’d like a stronger radiation dose, smoke one cigarette per year.

  7. Throughout the grand scheme of things you secure a B- just for effort. Where exactly you actually confused me personally ended up being in your details. As it is said, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more true at this point. Having said that, permit me tell you just what exactly did deliver the results. The writing is certainly rather powerful and that is most likely the reason why I am taking the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, despite the fact that I can certainly see a leaps in reason you come up with, I am not really sure of how you appear to connect your ideas which in turn help to make the conclusion. For right now I will subscribe to your point but hope in the future you connect your facts much better.
