first before i start i just want to say this happened in tucson. and that this guy lives in tucson so you can pretty much expect anything. so the director of the arizona radiation regulatory agency stated tuesday that they lost a moisture-density gauge in the tucson area. now they didn't say they left it somewhere or that it was stolen. no, they stated that it wasn't tied down in the back of a pickup truck correctly. ok, so radioactive materials in a pickup truck. secondly the director stated that the gauge contains radioactive material that could injure someone who eats it or carries it for a long time. because that's the first thing that runs through my mind every time i see a metal box glowing green in the middle of the road with stickers on it that say radioactive is...lunch. i don't know if that's the first thing that came to his mind during his speech or that he just thought the citizens of tucson would be tempted to eat it. i don't know.
gee mom whats this gauge thing i found out there on that road. hey i think i'll eat it!
whatever.
