at one time, I had a boss who had worked at Los Alamos during WWII and 50 years later, he still had a little card, about the size of a business card, with Los Alamos phone numbers, that he kept in his pocket (such cards use to be common) anyway, one of the numbers was, quote "criticality alert" LOL

@annika Why make something like this that is harmless? In theory shouldn't all things with this marking always be dangerous? Yes I'm fun at parties btw. |
