Don't scarry up people too much... Those poor workers was not informed that ingesting the paint meant goodbye, so they wetted the fine brush in thier mouths to have a nice fine point to paint with... Marie Curie did _not_ die from radium, that is a common misconception. She volunteered as a nurse during the great war and died from X-ray exposure. Good luck with the clocks. Maybe there will be some modern age tritium paint available somewhere to touch them up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
