As I found out, X-raying your feet was, in fact, a common thing back in the early 20th century to measure shoe-size. Wikipedia has more

Here's a video of it:



As you can imagine, this was basically one big radiation box and gave a ton of people cancer, hence why they no longer use it. :-I

Remember back in the 20s when we all thought radiation was magic and also a super safe and good thing to be around

There were radioactive devices for male impotence that were applied to the affected area.

Impotent? Well let's make sure!

my entire body is blasted with powerful radiation every second, i am strong and fertile and know the exact dimensions of all my bones, and am impossibly healthy besides the part where my jaw is no longer attached, microbes can't live in my system as much as my own cells can't either
