    May 30, 2012 - Researchers are startled to find Bluefin Tuna have not been able to flush out all the radioactive contamination from Fukishma. It was previously thought that the nuclear fallout would not linger in huge fish that sail the world because such fish were thought to be able to metabolize and shed radioactive substances.

    Supposedly, it should be okay to eat these Tuna, even though the radioactive Cesium levels are 10 times higher than those in Tuna caught off the California cost in previous years.

    Just had some tuna steaks last night...

    Cooked in coconut milk & lime juice with some cardamom. Yummy!

    And today I'm giving off a delightful glow! :0)

    I liked what they said on TV, "Lots of things we eat are radioactive!"

    I think all restaurant menus should now include the amounts of each type of radioactivity along with the list of ingredients.

    I'm gonna get me a Geiger counter soon.

    I have cut way back on fish consumtion . Some species now have mercury contamination . Now I guess maybe radioactive . I was wondering how long it would take to show up in fish off our coasts . If nothing else , I guess stick to farm raised small pan fish . I make sure the farm raised fish comes from farms in the United States , under government regulation . I have read some of the foreign fish farms are over populated and could be hazardous as well .

    Yeah I miss tuna steaks , shark and Mahi Mahi . But it's the world we live in today .

    Pretty much any ccd camera picks up radiation. put black tape over the lens and if you see sparkles on the screen...RUN! If you see full static... you're dead!

    Goodness...that sounds good...as much Tuna as I eat, I should've been glowing in the dark a long time ago...but most of the Tuna I eat comes from the Philipines or Thailand-is American Tuna even sold in the States anymore? If so, where?

    The only time I eat fish is if I catch some nice ones fishing, which unfortunately isnt very often.

    Yes, I poisoned all of these tuna with radioactivity. The U.S. government will never catch me. Muuuuaaah Ha Haaa.

    Any of you want to join me in any future conspiracies like these?

    The perfect crime. They'll never be able to prove it. Ha Ha!

    I also was contracted by the CIA to run a program where we captured unsuspecting citizens preformed experiments on them and tested Bath Salts on them.

    Muuaaaaaahhh Haaaaa Haaaaaa!

    I presume the contaminants would be mostly gamma emitters? IIRC Cs 137 is mostly a gamma emitter with some beta, but I'm unsure of Cs 134.

    -Looks at glowing can of tuna-

    Do I want to take the tiny chance I might become a superhero?

    Who wants to be SuperFish anyway?
