Microwaves use radiation to cook!

OMG! Special now on ACA...

Microwaves use a form of radiation to cook food - people should be careful.

The nong presenting the segment actually interviewed a mother who is concerned at how much radiation stays in the food. No one corrected that, but they did say that if the microwave leaks it can be dangerous.

Bloody hell, people are stupid!

The truth is out there.

Facts. Deal with them.



This is part 4 of 9.

Here's some terrifying information.

Dangerous Roads

Some program on Channel 7-Two.
Talking about the Ayr Highway, from Adelaide to Perth.
Crawling with venomous animals, the topography, etc.

The longest, flattest, straightest highway in the world.

Across the Newl-abbor Plain - LOL he can't pronounce it. It's called "null" as in nil, no, and arbour, as in French for trees.

Microsleeps kill people in this road. Road trains. Semi-trailers with three trailers.

I know all about falling asleep at the wheel, fortunately I've been very lucky when it's happened (only a few times), I knew I was tired and stopped and slept.

Oh, and the people they're talking about are travelling from Western Australia to the eastern states. Interesting. The car used in the mockup of the car rolling has a Queensland number plate. Maybe it was a rental they were bringing back east?

The Royal Flying Doctor features, an amazing service in Australia.

The other road they talk about is the Yungas road which passes through the Andes. The narrator keeps banging on about the terrible, dangerous climate. He's really talking about the weather.

What would your teenagers do?

Here's another one.

A TEENAGER has survived two bites from one of the world's deadliest snakes thanks to the quick thinking of friends who recently completed a first aid course.

Good on them!

Clinical effects of taipan snake bites

Taipan snakes have highly potent venom and can cause severe envenoming (envenomation) of humans. They are an uncommon cause of snakebites and occasional snakebite deaths in Australia at present, but represent a significant portion of major snakebites in coastal northern Queensland. Envenoming (envenomation) can cause defibrination coagulopathy, renal (kidney) damage or renal failure (kidney failure). They can cause neurotoxic paralysis (muscle weakness, respiratory failure), and this is common, and while clinical features of flaccid paralysis usually take several hours to become apparent, occasionally major paralysis develops within just a few hours of the bite. Bites can also cause myolysis (rhabdomyolysis, muscle damage), but this is uncommon and not usually severe. .
