We have a weekly event at Virginia Tech called "Geeks Lunch" where
people get together and discuss geeky things. Sometimes, people bring
"Show and tell." I once brought a piece of Trinitite I had picked up
somewhere and a geiger counter. The challenge for the rest of the group
was to guess what the "mineral" was.
Many of my friends and co-workers think I am more than a little odd,
based on the antique computers, slide-rules, radioactive materials and
sundry other curiosities I keep around.
