Funny how times change. They just mailed that shit to you.
My dad as a physics prof had an underground closet in his old lab that was full of radioactive samples. Dangerously radioactive samples. About 20 years ago, as various regulation were getting tighter, he started worrying about the stuff and worked really hard to get rid of all of it through quickly disappearing appropriate channels. If he had waited any longer, he would have had to devote the entire department budget to paying to get rid of the stuff. He had pulled one sample out of there once to show me, and the sample actually glowed in the dark. Very cool. Actually, now that I think about it, he took my grandmother's radium clock up there to get rid of it. That clock was cool. Its hands would glow in the dark too.
