In case any of my dear colleagues in the blogosphere are in the market for a lead brasserie or heavy metal codpiece, there is one supplier of goods meant to protect those delicate regions from radiation. By way of style, I’d put the design in the 19th century Amish or Mormon settler category. But, that is beside the point. This habillement de mode de plumbum [thanks BabelFish!] is meant to protect the more tender regions from ionization.

Lamentations on Chemistry 
I wonder if anyone has placed these things on rabbits or monkeys for extended periods and then analyzed the mutation rate of their..whatsa..jima…gathings.
Inquiring minds want to know.
It might imply insurance companies will force all sentient beings to wear such contraptions in the future. In fact a lead lined burrow for homes and lead lined cars (oh drat isn’t that mutagenic?)..so perhaps living a mile underground will solve all our problems.
Possibly placing the entire population into some sort of cryo-stasis might also save us from ourselves.
Ok..killed that line of thought. The sun goes red giant not too soon, so it’s all pointless anyway.
