Scotch Tape has X-Ray Powers

In a vaccum, peeling scotch tape produces x-rays

What's next? Blue-goo is the secret to self-exposure to gamma radiation?

Seriously though... they actually x-rayed a finger just from peeling scotch tape in a vaccum. They're now looking into making portable x-ray machines powered by scotch tape or something similar....

Don't worry though... apparently the effect only occurs in a vaccum... we haven't been x-raying ourselves with all those late-night science fair projects. LOL

And I thought duct tape was the best tape!
