All kidding aside - I had a customer tell me once, that many years ago, back in the 1950s when he was a kid, he got his hands on some trinitite and proceeded to eat a piece of it. He thought he might acquire super powers - like the comic books said at that time. After some back and forth, I determined that he was dead serious and wasn't yanking my chain. I asked him how much he ate and he says it was a small amount.
I cannot help but wonder if : he developed any super powers, or if he has a case of some rare abdominal cancer brewing up and waiting to rear it's ugly head. Needless to say, I strongly advise against consuming trinitite. Besides, the mutations it bestows are random, so you might end up with superhuman fingernail growth instead of telekinesis - in addition to the weird obscure cancers. ;) Best regards, MikeG On 6/5/09, Greg Hupe <[email protected]> wrote: > Better yet... > > I recommend 10mg of NWA 998 crumbs in a glass of champagne, followed by 20mg > of NWA 482 (or 3163) in a glass of iced rum and coke (fizzles pretty well! > or was that my brain?!). > > Don't laugh, really happened, except for the fizzled brain (but now I am > beginning to wonder a few years later... :-/ > > Best regards, > Greg > > ==================== > Greg Hupe > The Hupe Collection > NaturesVault (eBay) > [email protected] > www.LunarRock.com > IMCA 3163 > ==================== > Click here for my current eBay auctions: > http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZnaturesvault > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Galactic Stone & Ironworks" <[email protected]> > To: "Carl 's" <[email protected]> > Cc: <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, June 05, 2009 5:04 PM > Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Panspermia and Mars back contamination > > > I caught Andromeda Strain from a Tagish Lake sample when I first > started collecting. 500mg of Amoxicillin, twice a day, knocked it out > pretty quick. ;) > > > On 6/5/09, Carl 's <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> >> >> Yes, I recall a movie about hyperventilation.
