Good morning, miserable jingoes! Here is your dumb news: The Japanese government has made a few small changes to "nuclear safety standards in schools." Japanese schoolchildren can now be exposed to twenty times more radiation than was previously allowed! Parents are "furious" for some reason, and have "delivered a bag of radioactive playground earth to education officials in protest." (Radioactive Playground Earth. That will be the name of our next ska band.) Anyway! Japanese children can now be exposed to twenty millisieverts a year, which is "equivalent to the annual maximum dose for German nuclear workers," according to this news article. (Oh,
I'm guessing someone in Japan thinks the extra dose of radiation will give their kids mutant powers to better compete with the rest of the world with. Assuming they're as ignorant about science as Americans are, which they're probably not so nevermind!

The recent leakage should help out the <a href="http:\/\/www.irb.affrc.go.jp\/index-E.html" target="_blank">Institute of Radiation Breeding</a> in Ibaraki; now they can just go to the market to pick up irradiated fruits and vegetables rather than having to grow their own.
