OT for the Nuke E's

[bolddogge]

I saw this gem at an estate sale and couldn't resist it. It was only $3... and when would I have another opportunity to purchase some uranium ore anyway?
Now I'm wondering how safe I'll be sitting next to it at work all week. What say you Nuke E's?

If it doesn't register on a Geiger counter somebody rolled a charcoal briquette is white pebbles and sealed it.

Was this a Libyan estate sale?

I thought this was going to be a thread about the old strip club near Port Gibson.

If you want some tritium, check out the ductwork in the basement in Carpenter. Good stuff!

The nuclear logo painted on the outside was classic

I remember when they told us a watch that glowed in the dark would would take you out.

Why y’all gotta talk $h!t about 1 legged strippers?

Was this near Walmart shrimp recently?

One of the ancient professors in Industrial Engineering at State would say, "Son, you f*ck around with that the wrong way and it'll put your weenie in your watch pocket."

Estate sale was in West TN about 1/2 mile from my house. Dude was an engineer that worked out west for most of his career before moving back to his hometown. He and his wife both lived into their 90's, but I don't know how much time he spent in close proximity with this thing. He also had a box of pens that said "General Atomics" on it and a model of a predator with about a 3 foot wingspan drone on a shelf. I hate I didn't know him personally. He was probably a wealth of knowledge.

Unfortunately, the batteries are dead in mine.

I hope not. I had rather crack this thing open and eat it than shrimp from Walmart.

3.6 roentgen. Not great not terrible.

To be honest the radiation dosing is probably less than eating a banana. Source material doesn't pose a risk until it is enriched.

Maybe my favorite film in the last 10 years.

“Why worry about something that’s never going to happen?”
“Oh, that’s perfect. We should print that on our money.”

You should be just fine.

But that's as high as the meter goes...

Good to know... But how do you enrich a banana? Does it involve peanut butter?

 

[RocketDawg]

I saw a television program (it's been rerun several times), I think on History or Science) where a professor at Maryland had a piece of the nuclear fuel used in the German's attempt at developing the atomic bomb during WWII. Good thing they failed.

The fragment is perfectly safe.

MSU used to have a Nuclear Engineering major. I believe it was dropped some years ago?

Mila Kunis slowly eating it. Or maybe that would be mine. Either way, something is getting enriched.

It's not that difficult but here is a link.

Is this link safe to click or are helicopters going to land on my property?
