I heard that you absorb as much radiation snuggling between two people
during the night as you would leaning against a nuclear reactor-something 
to do with K-40 giving off radiation. Is it true that we give out radiation? 
How much and where does it come from? And do we absorb radiation from 
the sun and then give it off at night? How much?
