Are the critters that feed on radioactive food now radioactive themselves?

Radioactive mold! Does that not sound like the beginning of a 1950’s horror movie

Once caught a field mouse in a glue trap, it was squeaking and very loud.

What did you do at work today, honey?

I tickled a rat.

Well, as long as you don’t let it become a habit.

I’m trying to imagine the scene… “I need a grant for a new revolutionary scientific study” “Sure. We support science development. How much do you need? What is it about?” “I’m going to tickle rats…”

You’ll pardon me if I don’t tickle a rat.

Coming Soon to a Theater Near You: Attack of the Radioactive Chernobyl Mold

Since when does the Chernobyl power plant feed on radiation?

Looks like a picture of a mushroom to me, aren’t they fungi, not molds?

I’ll just take their word on the ticklish rats.

Somehow I think that mold will become dominant in the future when it out-competes other molds

Those must be domesticated rats that are used to human handling. I don’t think your average street rat is going to give you a second look if you offer to tickle it’s belly.

How do they know the mold is actually feeding off the radiation?
