If I NEVER heard the word microSievert again, it will be too soon.

It's right up there with hearing an explosion followed by shouts of "Allahu Akbar!", the N-word, or the sound of Pat Robertson's voice.

I am just ready to be done with this shit and I know we're far, far away from that.

4. The entire Sievert family of words can just take a leap. I'm even starting to hate the word "sieve"

...because it's just an "rt" away. I don't trust it. I think I'm going to call them Freedom Strainers from now on.

3. If you lived in Japan, microSievert will be probably part of the weather forecast....

for the rest of your life.

5. And I can only imagine how much they're starting to hate that word, too.

But it's an interesting point you bring up. Most weather reports include Temperature, Wind, Humidity for an area- but I could see a Sievert reading working in there, at least for the foreseeable future. Which is beyond horrible and should never be a part of anyone's "normal".

7. It's the "forever" part of a nuclear reactor disaster that always got to me...

6. Cloudy with a chance of microSieverts

It is so horrible.
