THERE is a popular quote that goes, "the sea is a cruel mistress". What a lot of people don't know is that there's a second part to it: "You can love her, you can hate her, but you can never trust her." While the quote is not attributed to anyone, it has been floating around in the English language for at least 200 years. Whoever first came up with the quote was most likely talking about the weather, seeing that 200 years ago was the Age of Sail, but apparently there was one more reason not to trust the sea: It's actually naturally radioactive. Is this true?
