Frame said the ring likely used polonium-210 because it was the most accessible substance that could produce the alpha particles required to make the effect work. However, polonium-210 has a relatively short half-life of 138 days, meaning that approximately half the polonium in the ring would have been gone within about four and a half months. In other words, a vintage Atomic Bomb Ring isn't going to be producing any scintillations.

Even while the ring's effect was still happening, though, kids weren't really in danger. Alpha radiation can be dangerous when ingested, but it's also the easiest type of radiation to block — even a sheet of paper is enough

How many Michelin starred restaurants have you eaten in to arrive at this comparison?

The interesting thing is that it works even a as placebo.

The are several studies done with subjects drinking alcoholic beverages or non alcoholic alternatives (non known to subjects).

The non alcoholic group does show inebriated behavior, even though no alcohol is present.

It shows that the convention of being less inhibited whilst drinking is a social construct, rather than an effect of the drink.

It's fun seeing someone do something with Incredible skill /or great athleticism. Doesn't need to be sport per se performance art like acrobatics or artistry e.g. Bob Ross have similar aspects.

Some sports I like to watch I have personally partaken in, in that way I can more appreciate the skill needed by the professionals.

Some sports I don't know at all but I like to figure out the rules by watching and discovering what makes a great play (American Football is in that category for me).

You didn't need to write something in this thread, you could've ignored it.

I learned this in 1996 when the bloodhound gang released their album One fierce beer coaster.
