I got 9 out of ten in the quiz too, getting it wrong on the invisible clock question. What about you?

The problem with radiation vs more usual risks is you need a machine to tell you if you're in danger. And if you've not got one, you're reliant on the media or authorities. Which in practice would boil down to how much you trust the media or authorities.

Ummm... that comic is about Star Trek and has nothing to do with Charlie Sheen.

6/8 on the quiz, but I find it annoying that one thing was "science fact" because it was "theoretically possible," but another thing was "science fiction" because, even though people are currently working on it, it hasn't been made yet. I got the first one wrong, which influenced my answer on the second, which I then proceeded to get wrong as well.
