This security guard goes absolutely bananas and shows this mascot how to really go crazy and dance while pumping up a crowd. Maybe he was just tired of all of the annoying in-your-face dances you just know the mascot has done in the past. Or maybe he was just a little hungry and used an interpretive dance to request a PB&J. Either way you split it,... |
10 Things You Didn't Know About Bananas

| Jacksonville is bananas for bananas. Consumers here eat so many that Dole Fresh Fruit has bestowed on us the title "Top Banana City." But how much do you really know about bananas? 1. They're naturally radioactive, but it's no big deal. We're exposed to low levels of natural radiation every day; it's even emitted by our bodies. So it's OK to keep eating bananas, radiation and all. 2. Bananas are berries. Botanically speaking, "berry" is defined as a fruit produced from a single ovary, so bananas are in the same category as grapes, cranberries and tomatoes. But botanically, strawberries and... |

By DENISE GRADY One of the many endearing things about my husband is that he has five Geiger counters. /snip Recently, one of my interviews took a turn for the weird. I asked a scientist about possible health effects from radioactive materials leaking out of the plant, and he started talking about bananas. “Why, we ingest radioactive material every day,” he said in a tone of wonderment. “Bananas are a most potent source.” They contain a naturally occurring form of radioactive potassium, more than other fruit, he explained.... |
Banana dose equivalents of radiation (Fukushima spiked at 30 bananas/day, now 2 bananas/day)
Sunday 27th of May 2012 01:06:26 PM
Posted by admin / Under Banana Republic (clothing Retailer)
Watt's up with that - The average radiologic profile of bananas is 3520 picocuries per kg, or roughly 520 picocuries per 150g banana. The equivalent dose for 365 bananas (one per day for a year) is 3.6 millirems (36 μSv). Another way to consider the concept is by comparing the risk from radiation-induced cancer to that from cancer from other sources. For instance, a radiation exposure of 10 mrems (10,000,000,000 picorems) increases your risk of death by about one in one million—the same risk as eating 40 tablespoons of peanut butter, or of smoking 1.4 cigarettes.

| Washington - Chinese President Hu Jintao has topped U.S. President Barack Obama on the Forbes list of most powerful people, with the magazine pointing to Hu's sweeping powers and the stinging defeat of Obama's democrats in legislative polls. Thursday, the magazine said Hu was the world's most powerful person, saying he "exercises near dictatorial control over 1.3 billion people, one-fifth of world's population." "Unlike Western counterparts, Hu can divert rivers, build cities, jail dissidents and censor Internet without meddling from pesky bureaucrats, courts," it said. Hu topped Obama, last year's most powerful person, whose Democratic Party suffered major losses in... |

| I, Lucas Smith, have recently completed my reading of the book Homeland: An Extraordinary Story of Hope and Survival, by George Hussein Obama (President Barack Obama's youngest brother in Kenya). George Hussein Obama, in his book, which was published in January of 2010 depicts Kenya just as I, Lucas Smith, saw Kenya in February of 2009. There are several segments of the book that aid in dipicting Kenya as I saw Kenya in 2009. Many critics (and Obots) have made claims that my, Lucas Smith's, depicting of Kenya in 2009 was tremendously inaccurate and downright impossible. Let's see what President... |
Aussie underwear has gone bananas

| SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) – Australian underwear company AussieBum has been monkeying around and the result is a range of men's underwear made with bananas. ~SNIP~ The banana fiber used in the underwear is made from a bark weave from the banana plant and makes the underwear not only lightweight, but also very absorbent, he said. "Naturally you can't really add anymore banana fiber than that because it might be a bit squishy," said Jones, adding that wearers did not have to worry about real monkeys, as the underwear does not smell like a banana. |

Noise from the turbines fills the silence that Dolores and Rudy Jech once enjoyed on their Minnesota farm. "Rudy and I are retired, and we like to sit out on our deck," Dolores said.

| Is This Our Last Christmas? The Liberal Left, combining Democrat-cum-Socialist members of the House and Senate along with our Manchurian President, have proven through their actions over the last several months that they no longer care what America’s voters think or want. Just as destructive is their having proven, again and again, that they refuse to be constrained in any way shape or form by the Constitution of the United States of America. This is definitely our last Christmas without the government’s mitts directly smearing with their putrid fingerprints our medical care, doctor-patient relationships, and individual liberties to live and... |

| Nevada fired the first shot, targeting California's lousy business climate. A good, old-fashioned advertising war has erupted between California and Nevada. At issue is which venue is more business-friendly. Nevada says it's more business friendly because it has no corporate income tax, no personal income tax and its worker compensation fees are much lower. California says it's more business friendly because, well, because California has a lot of consumers and nice weather. Nevada's campaign is the latest in a series run by bordering states to lure dissatisfied California businesses to greener pastures. Paid for by the Nevada Development Authority, the... |

| WASHINGTON — Mounting job losses rattled hopes Thursday that the economy is on track to grow this year, showing prospects for U.S. workers are terrible — and still getting worse. Employers reduced their payrolls by 467,000 jobs in June, the Labor Department said, far more than the 363,000 forecasters had expected. The unemployment rate rose to 9.5 percent, from 9.4 percent in May. And an additional 614,000 people applied for unemployment-insurance benefits last week. The rate of job losses had decreased every month since January before spiking again in June, and economists believe it is highly likely the unemployment rate... |
