Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Know (or maybe you did?!)

Did you know... bananas contain high levels of potassium, a tiny fraction of which is a radioactive isotope! Radiation is so notoriously low that scientists actually use the "Banana Equivalent Dose" to explain natural radioactivity!

James' joke of the week... Why did the banana wear sunscreen to the beach? It refused to peel!
