Once the media come up with evidence that Weiner sent out pictures of a radioactive knife, we'll really be onto comedy gold.

Worrying about the potential radiation that could be released by a small knife blade manufactured hundreds of miles from a nuclear accident makes about as much sense as worrying that you could poison yourself cutting food with a blade made of vanadium steel, because vanadium is a toxic metal. The "science" behind both is the science of ignorance, laughable at best, dangerous at worst.
-actually i am educated , so seeing your age i decided not to continue the dispute.

- i just wanted to let you know some information 'laughable at best' , and tell you my worries are over since the radioactive clouds are not heading S-W to seki city.

My apologies, perhaps this thread has gone in the wrong direction.

Your concerns of radiation poisoning from a pocket knife I'm sure are very valid. What specific dangers are you fearing from this contact? Potentially terminal, infertility, superficial burns, glowing green?

More than happy to help if I can help do some research.

I read interesting things about Chernobyl. They say that despite the accident, life is flourishing there. Plants, animals, even people seem to have adapted well.

Life may be flourishing physically, but to overcome decades of Communism-fueled fear of government, distrust/hate of the West and being spoon fed an unhealthy dose of Communist-tainted media is very difficult for some individuals. You can see the effects even on the next generation(s).

On a totally unrelated note... I'd like to remind everyone of the highly useful "ignore" feature that this forum comes equipped with. If you should happen to read post after post from a user who is clearly trolling... simply click on their name and find the button labeled user lists on their profile page. Click on it and a menu including the add to ignore list option will appear, allowing you to spare yourself the agony of reading post after post of vitriol and ignorance. Just thought it seemed relevant, thank you for your time :D .

A great note. Feel free to beneficially side-track a train-wreck anytime you want. ;)

I think all you people dismissing the OP's fears are out of line. Why just the other day I was playing with a recently purchased Spyder of Japanese manufacture which I'm certain is radioactive, and while flicking away it bit me. This morning I discovered that I can cling to sheer walls, and just now I bent my wrist backwards and a webby ropey thing shot out of it. I wouldn't be so quick to mock if I were you.

The odd's of falling on your new knife and having it land in your eye socket is 10,973,632,001% greater than worring about this.

Funny, , when I crunch the numbers I'm coming up with 10,973,634.023% with a .0000009721% margin of error. ;)
