On Thursday I got emailed a story trying to explain the current radiation crisis in simple terms. It`s certainly novel, but abit worrying.
To see it, have a look at the link below.
(there is a link in the post to the original Japanese version).

It`s a crude explanation of the crisis using toilet humour. To summarise in a sentence, Fukushima and Three Mile were controlled flatulence, whereas Chernobyl was defecation without a nappy.
How accurate the explanation is I don`t know. But judging by the comments posted, it is already a popular and reassuring story.
I was comforted that the Japanese were already making light of the potential radiation fallout. And some of the pictures are quite amusing too.
