we did cloud chambers in high school physics. can't remember what else I might have done. -- nm - zork Mar 17, 12:05
i had a tritium glow stick key chain for years, does that count? -- nm - Andie Mar 17, 11:57 6
- I was *devastated* when mine broke. ("no kids keychain.") it's in newton's glove compartment. -- nm - amanda "training day" jones Mar 17, 11:58 4
  - me too, one day i just realized that the plastic casing has cracking and no-more glow. :( maybe i need to ebay a new one. -- nm - Andie Mar 17, 12:01 3
    - can I still not get them here? -- nm - amanda "training day" jones Mar 17, 12:04 2
      - no idea. i know at the time i ordered them from the UK cause we (US and Canada) were all 'uh, no way.' -- nm - Andie Mar 17, 12:05 1

Glo sticks every Halloween. -- nm - Blinky the Three Eyed Fish Mar 17, 11:55 9
- hmmm, don't think those are actually radioactive, are they? -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 11:55 8
  - Glo Sticks is a local hooker, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 17, 11:57
  - hmmm.... -- nm - TFox Mar 17, 11:56 6
    - some joke went over my head again, didn't it? -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 11:57 5
      - over mine, too, if that's the case. (But I think most glow sticks these days are bio-luminescent, or at least just chemical ...) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 17, 11:58 4
        
        there's zero chance they're bio-lum. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 12:02 3
        
        That's no fun. They cage brine shrimp, why not cage bio-lum algae? :) - Beryllium Mar 17, 12:08
        
        Chemiluminescence. -- nm - Blinky the Three Eyed Fish Mar 17, 12:06
        
        I was goign to guess chemical. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 12:05
