(Notso) Best Toy I never got



Ok - Saw this on line today. sCaRy! What was it last year with the Chinese toy Aqua Dots that had elements of the Date Rape drug in the plastic? Geeesh.... beginners.

Contents below!

The set came with four types of uranium ore, a beta-alpha source (Pb-210), a pure beta source (Ru-106), a gamma source (Zn-65?), a spinthariscope, a cloud chamber with its own short-lived alpha source (Po-210), an electroscope, a geiger counter, a manual, a comic book (Dagwood Splits the Atom) and a government manual "Prospecting for Uranium."
