    Wouldn't it be funny if someone came to your door tomorrow and said, "We heard there's some guy going around the neighborhood claiming he's a "Radiation Safety Officer"... You haven't seen anyone like that, have you?"

    I was just wondering when the universe would remind me to pick up a few rolls of lead foil and never leave the house again.

    One minor quibble. My name's actually Jane Irwin. Vogelein is the name of my graphic novel series, and my website. I sometimes use it for my account name, as I've done here.


    Thanks!

    @Vogelein: Do you have three arms yet?


    It's a good thing you were aware of the radium dials from yore; who knows what kind of problems might have arose if you had kept those things around...

    Does Ebay's ToS cover, say, freakin hot radioactive material? Otherwise I think I have a few nukes to assemble.

    @Smeagol92055: Was it a "teehee!" giggle or more of a "hurr hurr hurr" giggle? This is important.

    Jeez, when I think about all the times I stuffed my radium-painted compass in my pocket back in the military... Damn you, Uncle Sam, I better not go sterile because of you.
