The rest is the clucking of hens.

My Dad was a CD guy...we had a geiger counter..it was cool!


Kewl. I bought one of those CD Geiger counters, a reconditioned and
tested one, almost new in the box, a while back. Loads of fun, but so
far not a lot of radioactivity around to discover. Guess I'll have to
wait until Ahmadinijad does some atmospheric testing.

You can test smoke alarms...

No good for radon, though. Radon emits mostly alpha particles, and the
aluminum shield over the sensing tube stops 'em.
