I've always thought it was because concrete is slightly radioactive, personally. Rightly or wrongly so, its been yet another reason to avoid the oil-debt and walk, or cycle, to work.
- ErsatzVerkehr 13y agoAre you serious?
- seclorum 13y agoYes, quite: http://hps.org/publicinformation/ate/q1543.html http://hps.org/publicinformation/ate/q1543.html And: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_concrete http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_concret... I haven't been seriously thinking about it, like I said it was just a fancy, not a seriously considered notion, and anyway it nevertheless resulted in a healthier response: I void driving, and thus parking, and thus parking in concrete structures.
- mturmon 13y agoReading your comments, you vacillate between taking radioactive heating from concrete seriously, and not. Doing the right thing for the wrong reason is not an effective strategy.
- seclorum 13y agoConcrete is radioactive, I'm reminded of this fact when I go into a concrete parkhouse and feel the heat, and I don't particularly care if its hot due to radiation or hot due to heat energy from cars being stored - either way, the darn places are uncomfortable and I avoid them. I'm not particularly bothered if I'm "wrong", its just a cute thing to say .. "oh, its so radioactive in here, lets get out.."
- ErsatzVerkehr 13y agoIt sounds more crazy than cute to me.
- seclorum 13y agoWell, next time you walk into a stinking hot concrete bunker, say to yourself "I wonder if I know what the word radiation means, hmmm.."
