Story: Scotch tape X-rays

A little while a go I found this very interesting little story on the Internet that claims that there was a scientific discovery that when you peel scotch tape from human skin it emits x-rays. I have no idea if this is actually possible but it sounds very interesting so that I thought that I would post it. The go on to talk about the applications of this for taking x-rays in third world countries that are unable to afford x-ray machines. I don't think that scotch tape would create enough x-rays as a regular x-ray tube but you never know. Keep on building.
