YT2095 Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Awwww I don`t think I could do that to anyone really, radiation aside, it would be so mind numbingly tedious and repetative I think even a robot would fake a broken servo to get out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I believe she used to carry a lump of radium around with her, and so she died of either radiation poisoning or cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 in Europe during the 40`s Radium water was made regularly for drinking in the morning, it was like a wire mesh sphere that contained a lump of Radium, that was then encapsulated in a metal container with holes in it, that was then dropped into a jug of ordinary tap water overnight and drunk in the morning. My Nan (Grandmother) used to have one and my Mother used to play with it as a child!!!! scary huh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hierarch Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 OMG, I can't image one drink Radium water. It is really awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 well I`ve no idea what it tasted like in all honesty, but I should imagine pretty much just like ordinary water, although I`m not 100% sure of the thinking behind the idea in the 1`st place, I can only assume it was considered a way to Sterilise water during the War without having to boil it and use valuable fuel? I`m only guessing tho` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Pretty crappy way of sterilising it. But then again, they did thing tobacco and cigarettes were good for your health, so who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Just did a quick google and it looks like they used it for 'healing powers' (since some of the springs around the world, which have quite a lot of natural radiaton have these so-called powers). http://www.orau.org/ptp/articlesstories/quackstory.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Enigma'07 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I did a project on her recently. It depends on what kind of information you need; biographical, accomplishment, or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
