I happen to have a box of dosimeters at home, but I don't think I really
want to know. Of course, I could put the Geiger counter on it....

That's kinda cool. I used to work for ICN Pharmacueticals in the Dosimetry
department about 12 years ago. I did partly accounting stuff and also made
the
little radiation detection badges that dentist people use. I think they
were
called Dosimeters. Maybe I should get a box full of those so that I can use
them
when I work around monitors to see how much radiation I'm exposed to. - or
do
I really want to know...
