I always wanted to warn about radioactive bears ahead. I don’t know why that was always the thing, but it seemed silly enough to make people smile while scaring the idiots.
That’s so charming! It’s my absolute favorite thing today.
Where I grew up there was an urban legend about radioactive deer. It was pre-internet, the deer were legitimately weird, and they lived in the woods adjacent to one of the US’s earliest nuclear research facilities. Everyone had seen them. The facility was active and well guarded. It seemed… plausible. Very plausible.
