I am watching the 700 club right now on TV and they said that the first Stem Cell Test Tube Hamburger should be ready in the fall... "Scientists say the first test tube hamburger will be ready this fall, it will be produced from the stem cells of a Cow. Researchers hope they can mass produce the artificial hamburger." They went on the say it will be very expensive at first but hope they can get the costs down after a while. Am I the only one that thinks this is completely ridiculous and just because you can do something doesnt mean you should. I know I will NEVER EVER eat one myself. | ||

I have some radium infused paint used in WWII to re-illuminate aircraft gauge numbers. Wanna rub it all over your burger like ketchup?  LOL Yes it glows in the dark and yes it is in a lead box... | ||

...no clue, I found it in the attic of an airport that I worked at in the ninetees. They had all kinds of stuff up there from the 30s and 40s. It says on the box, "US MIL SPEC GAUGE PIGMENT" and underneath it says "DANGER-RADIUM KEEP IN LINED BOX" and there is a number, can't remember wht it is. It isn't really bright anynmore but it still glows if you hold it under a light for a minute or two. To be honest, I really am not even sure where I put it. I think it is in the shop somewhere, I remember showing it to an older chap a couple years ago. There was a whole shelf full of gauges as well. I put a couple of them in my buddies old Superglide dash. They don't work but they look kewl and they glow at night. He gets a lot of questions about them...I think they were an altimeter and a twin tachometer. | ||

Doesn't sound very appetizing Gus. Might get the mad cow, or acquire the intellect of bovines. I'll just have the market-ground from Winn-Dixie. I saw some TV documentary about the radium watch dial factory that was closed, demolished, then paved over. Seems the majority of the workers there died at early ages and/or had children with birth defects. (get yer geiger counter out Chopprs)I've got this old Navy issue bomber clock, most of the radium has flaked off the hands. It's a nice 2 barrel Waltham 24 hour dial 7-day. Used to be a clock geek before my gun revival. Also have some water-based glow paint that's not nuclear. (J'ever notice how the girl at the dentist's office gets behind the wall before she irradiates your head?) Was planning to extract the water and try to paint some gun sights with it. | ||

I just read up on this test tube "meat". Sounds really gross to me. |
