Radar exposure.

Damn. This morning I was part of a group visiting a naval base. Now, this being a Malaysian naval base, its no surprise that the whole place was a mess with no proper supervision for the visitors.

Anyway, the problem is, during the trip we were led up onto the deck of a ship. Since it was crowded, my brother and I went to an empty corner. Only afterwards did a naval officer tell me that the corner I was in housed a radar antenna or something and that exposure could lead to cancer and infertility. According to the navy, one shouldn't stand near that corner for more than 2 minutes, and I'm pretty sure my brother and I spent less than 1 minute there. And ultra****, the navy apparently forgot to switch off the radar today for the visitors' safety.

So, question is, are my brother and I safe? We spent less than a minute there (in the radar corner) but more than 5 minutes on the deck in total (everyone did). I felt abit quesy afterwards but that may have been due to the swaying of the boat, or perhaps my overwhelming anger for the navy.

I understand radar exposure heats up tissue. Should I take a cold bath? Or is it too late? (its been more than 12 hours already)

So you're asking if you are in danger from radio waves? :rolleyes:

Spontaneous human combustion should commence within ten hours. It's nothing to worry about, at least you'll go out with a bang...

Pah, that's nothing.

Reminds me of that thing on Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson said "Who wants to go to heaven all grey, with tubes up their nose being wheeled in on a hospital trolley? I want to go screeching backwards through the Pearly Gates in a ball of fire!" :toofunny:

Don't be silly - they'd never let Jeremy Clarkson into heaven.
