[Rockhounds] RE: Running out of space

[Axel Emmermann]

Indeed, Johan, what a memory!
Stockpiling radioactive material in ones bedroom is not really sane.
I wonder if Peter has any children? I also wonder what they would look
like... 
Whomever shares his reactor room won't have trouble locating him in the
dark. 
There's only little radioactive stuff in my collection and nothing like
primary uranium or thorium ore. A simple headcount suffices to make an
inventory of my family. ROFL.
The offspring of radon-breathing human subspecies may have more intricate
forms, an extra head or two perhaps? 

Cheers

Axel
