mSv + Japan...........from Rico

I do love Japan, I REALLY do...no, I am not making this up.

I had a savings bankbook once from the Bank of Yokohama with a cute Tom&Jerry cartoon on the front of it. Cute. Friendly. Non-threatening.
- It was when I found that not only did the Bank NOT pay interest on the savings account, but actually charged me for the privelege of letting them have my money that I suspected the 'cute' cartoons hid a darker reality.

Japanese radiation? NO worries there. Just look at the happy cartoon faces on this depiction of millisieverts (mSv) that is circulating in Japan right now. Cute. Friendly. Non-threatening.
- Compare it to the 'systeme international' table attached. Draw your own happy faces and conclusions.

Me? I think I'll stick with rads as a unit of radiation measurement, and the Fwench 'systeme international' of mSv's can....to use proper British English...sod off!
