I was joking, sorry!
No worries - sometimes it’s hard to tell if I’m being whooshed or not. 
Though I’m old enough that the first time I read it, c1980, I had no idea. The only Christie book that was “spoiled” for me in my tween-teen consumption of all her works was Death on the Nile, which was made into a movie in 1978, starring Peter Ustinov.
The Elm Street in Nightmare on Elm Street refers to the street that President Kennedy was on when he was assassinated because Wes Craven considered it the moment that he lost his innocence.
From that article:
This after the world’s first nuclear reactor was built at a squash court. I eagerly await the Pickleball Reactor.
The model of a nuclear reactor in the squash court was for practice. There actually was a meltdown in the nuclear reactor. Carter and the men in his team were lowered into the reactor to repair it. None of them spent more than a minute and a half in it because it was so dangerous. It was close enough to being dangerous that Carter had radioactive urine for months afterwards. Despite that, he’s now 99 years, 4 months, 1 week, and 3 days old. Have we discovered that a certain amount of radiation extends your life? Is it like the way that some superheroes in comics became superheroes? What’s happened to the other 22 men in Carter’s team?
Evidently there were no spiders in there.
No, no, the one Carter and his team built was in a tennis court. The one Fermi and his team built, decades earlier, was in a squash court.
Yeah, but were they bigger on the inside?
If you enjoy mountains, then the West African nation of the Gambia is NOT for you. Its highest point (which doesn’t have a name, nor does it really merit one) is a mere 64 m (210 ft) above sea level.
That is interesting. I’d never looked at a map of The Gambia before. It’s a small country that occupies the banks along the western half of the Gambia River which is sourced in higher ground further inland.
As a matter of fact, yes (maybe):
I harbor a faint hope that my annual trip from Detroit to Japan, during which our plane flies across southern Alaska, exposes me to enough radiation to be beneficial but not so much as to be harmful.
Or you can enjoy a bask in a uranium mine health spa
Now if they only made radium-laced water I could drink.
That’s why I regularly eat bananas.
Yeah, but it contained thorium, too.
That’s like a BOGO.
It occurs naturally in the mineral springs in Saratoga Springs, NY. People can drink from them (I have – it’s naturally carbonated and tastes awful) though they are advised to limit how much they drink, since it’s far above the legal limit for ingesting radium in water.
It wouldn’t be the first time a scientific breakthrough was made in the kitchen.
I just stumbled across this, and I’m amazed.
The actual bathtub that French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat was assassinated in still exists. It’s at the Grévin Museum in Paris, which is apparently a wax museum a la Madame Tussaud’s. A year ago a couple of dermatologists examined it, hoping to find clues about his skin disease and how it was treated.
They didn’t find much about the disease, it turns out. But bloodstains from newspapers he used yielded DNA evidence that he suffered from sebhoerreic dermatitus and was also infected with Staphylococcus aureus and Cutibacterium acnes. The bathtub did suggest that he was using sulfur to treat it.
