Brilliant! In a far more trusting and innocent time gifts like these were available to buy for the kiddies. Loved ones would sportingly trek out on Christmas eve and fork over their hard earned shillings to buy wonderful and educational gifts for their brainy kiddies. The kit comes complete with a Wilson Cloud Chamber (to see paths of alpha particles). Watch as the kids ooh and aah as they create mini mushroom clouds in the front room. Packaged as containing harmless radioactive materials but "exposure to the same isotope—U-238—has been linked to Gulf War syndrome, cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma, among other serious ailments". Nice.

Jed's Poem
I have seen this video a while ago but I just sent it round the agency and it was a hit. I thought it was worth a revisit. This is made in code on an Apple II. Genius. Enjoy!
