Hot tuna

Good news for people who love tuna melts.

Radioactive bluefin tuna from Japan's nuclear disaster have made their way to the west coast. Think of them as 10 feet long, 1,000 pound mini-nuclear subs that have invaded the western waters of the United States.

I bet you can't guess what the officials are saying. Well, maybe you can.

They're saying that despite the fact the levels of cesium-134 and cesium-137 are ten times higher than in previously tested fish, the public shouldn't worry: the radioactive tuna is safe to eat. Of course it is.

The tuna fishing lobby says so.

Apparently the only thing actually in danger is the bottom line for sushi restaurant owners.

That's because now the spicy tuna rolls are really spicy. And the regular tuna rolls can't help cooking themselves.
