Casper Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Might be kinda hard to get a SQL Admin gig..."...Where does he get those wonderful toys?"I often wonder what I would've done for a living if I were alive back then.

cmh_sprint Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I wonder how many dogs became radioactive after dining on kits that were left out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStump Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 My grandpa used to tell stories about how they used to play with mercury from a broken thermometer when he was a kid, now if you play with mercury Hazmat shows up! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artmageddon Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 You must have been on Cracked, I looked up these exact toys as well today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 You can still get at least Spinthariscopes and cloud chambers. That is all I actually read, so if you are genuinely interested in the toys, there you go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzer Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 You can make a cloud chamber easy at home and use an old watch face, old fiestaware bowls, and all sorts of other fun things to watch particle decay. You're never too old to play with radioactive toys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
