Hey Chris, How's your supply of Potassium Iodide?

Sounds like a Sheldon Cooper wannabe.

These guys have KI in an eyedropper bottle.

I got mine from King Soopers (City Market, Kroger) pharmacy.

It's called "Ionic Iodine"  I got it to replace the iodization in table salt which I quit using.  I couldn't find this material on their site (might be too new?), but I have a bottle of it.  Serving size 3 drops (0.2 ml), provides 225 mcg iodine in the form of KI.

Postwar sometime, I remember "making" a pretend atomic bomb out of a segment of rain gutter and two suitably-sized subcritical rocks for the yernamiun.  Eight-nine-ten years old?  Something like that.

Kids.  Wadaya gonna do?

No isotopes involved.

Doesn't sound like there was anything involved and the fireman (and caller) have no idea what they are talking about.

Damn, and here I was hoping a few mutations might improve Ohio genetics.

As usual for these days stellar journalism. ;/

How hard is it for a reporter to ask for some clarification on so many questions. The first one I have is how they justify trying to charge him for inciting panic when it sounds like the Police/Fire were the ones who invited the panic?
