Who?
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Radiation and the Popular Imagination
In the past century, few topics have gripped the public's interest as tenaciously as has radiation. Our perceptions of it have shaped policy in arenas as diverse as medical care, energy, and international relations. The relationship has been a stormy one, though, as we've alternately adored radiation or despised it, depending on the morning's headlines.
Fortunately, radiation's long-standing high profile in the media provides us with a century's worth of images to chronicle the history of this roller coaster romance
Wow. Radiation used as a beauty treatment. Radium drinks that glowed. Radioactive suppositories.
Radium water means radiant health. AGUA RADIUM rejuvenates!
Radioactive hot springs were the spas of the day. Seats in radon-laden mine shafts were rented by the ill and aged.

I used to have an irradiated dime from the Atomic Energy museum in Oak Ridge, TN. My older sisters and I tried to break the little cases to get the dime out.
I also used to eat rocks at that stage of my life.

Back when you aspired to be an Emperor penguin.
That was radioactive.

A great compilation of '70s toy commercials: [link]
Especially cool if you remember any of the toys. Or if you're younger and want to laugh at your parents' toys.
