My fifth grade homeroom teacher was a sort of consipiracy theorist/health nut, etc. He said that if you held your arm up to the screen of the tv and changed the channel your hairs would stand on end, and that it was caused by a shot of radiation sent out by the tube. Said that the radiation would go in your arm and stay there, it couldn't get out. Pure b.s., of course, but I really think he believed it. Kinda like with irradiated food, people think it will cause problems, but a radioactive ray can't make something radioactive.
I don't think I'd add that sticky grease from inside a tv to my diet. It wouldn't surprise me if it had PCBs in it. Some of the ooze I've seen from bad can caps can be scary looking, although from what I've read the ones in consumer electronics should be okay.
