Picture of the Day: Radioactive Mattresses
Staff from Korea Post collect mattresses made by Daijin Bed Co., which have been found to release radiation at levels that exceed the safety standard, in Seoul on June 16, 2018. (Yonhap)

Great video FS. 😛
Anybody want to take a guess how somebody notices their matress is radioactive?
Hello, doesn’t everyone have a Geiger counter on their bedside table?
“Anybody want to take a guess how somebody notices their matress is radioactive?”
You wake up with a second head?
😆
OT (sort of…guess it might involve mattresses)
Someone posted this article on a facebook forum:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/06/14/house-votes-to-ban-shipments-child-sex-robots.html
So….I responded:
“Hey! That’s not just ANY child. That’s King Tut!”
No one thought that was funny.
(the head seriously looks like a weird Egyptian, not a child)
Guess I have to tone my weird sense of humor down on Facebook.
Probably on a watch list now
What kind of weirdo would pay all that money for a child sex doll when there are plenty of defenseless children all over the place?
I like ’em thin so I built my own doll.
NOT SAFE FOR WORK
(maybe not safe for life)

CH you would definitely get kicked out of that Facebook group 😆
I have to admit, it beats the Radioactive video.
What level of radiation is standard for mattresses in Korea?
WTF?
So I was curious about 2 things.
1. What material is used in mattresses that might be unusually radioactive.
2. How a country that doesn’t notice growing cracks in large buildings before they fall down manages to notice how many alpha particles come out of a mattress in a year.
These are both valid questions for which answers might give a deeper insight into the workings of the world.
But my research yielded some knowledge even deeper… and worse.
Japan has low rates of cancer compared to the West. Fine. There are lots of possible explanations.
But the West also has an interesting difference in that there is a 10% difference in cancer rates between each side of the body that Japan does not have.
File that info for a minute.
Studies show a higher cancer rate near radio transmission towers… but the signal strength of the radio transmissions are so small it seems impossible to have an effect on humans getting cancer.
It runs out in sleep studies most people prefer to sleep on their right side.
Metal bed frames and mattress springs collect RF transmissions like an antenna and the field concentrates above the bed… where people spend about a third of their lives.
Think about this for a minute.
I’m never sleeping again until my metal mesh Faraday gimp suit arrives.
CH is this true or are you taking advantage of my gullibility? Cause I’m at my mom’s house and her internet is practical joke level slow so if you’re sending me on a wild goose chase here…that would be mean. I was just trying to read up on flu vaccine studies. I guess they discovered annual vaccination over a series of years reduces effectiveness bigly.

I shyte thee not.
I sleep face down in the buff, you know…. just in case.
Fuuudge.
Eh, there’s a certain amount of good luck/bad luck involved. Had a bout with tongue cancer (I may have told this story here before)
I remember chatting with the intern.
“So, Mr. MTB Rider. Have you quit smoking yet?”
“Doc, I’ve never smoked a day in my life.”
“Well, do you dip, sir?”
“Nope. Gross.”
“Heavy drinker?”
“Light/social. A case can last a month or more.”
“Huh. You got bad luck…”
Oh, the tumor was on the right side of my tongue. I tend to sleep on my left side like most folks. Keeps the stomach acid from seeping into my esophagus and giving me heartburn.
And Smokes? Don’t be teasing CH. You know how he gets… 😉
Smokes, as long as you only sleep with your non-conductive butt plug in, you should be OK.
You can use this handy mnemonic:
If it’s steel, you don’t conceal.
If it’s glass, it’s up yo’ ass.
MTB, I assume you learned your lesson about eating ho’box.
Nope! Still take the A Train Downtown!
Ladies… Call me.
LIMERICK
My radon-filled matress is noble,
makes my Three Mile dick expand global.
She scream for FEMA,
wet like Fukushima,
and I blast as hard as Chernobyl.
