Lost Nazi Uranium Found In a Dutch Scrapyard 205

colin_faber writes "Lewis Page of the Register is reporting that forensic nuclear scientists at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre traced the two pieces of metal found in a Dutch scrapyard — described as a cube and a plate — back to their exact origins and dates. Apparently both came from ores extracted at the 'Joachimsthal' mine in what is now the Czech Republic from the former Nazi nuclear-weapons programme of the 1940s." The article runs through the roadblocks that, unknown to the Allies, the Nazi regime erected against their possible success in any nuclear bomb development during the war.

Missing option:
cremated and then used as a fertilizer to grow some killer BC Bud, as seen in How High.

As a Sikh my people tend to be cremated after death, which I think is better than being buried in some overpriced box. Hope I am reincarnated as something cool like a tiger or black person.

I'm not sure what's used in these indicator strips but it's not litmus paper. FYI, the pH of water is 7, so it would have nothing to do with the color changing.

I successfully returned my water damaged phone to Bell by removing the water indicator sticker and replacing it with one I made myself using paper. It would have been very easy to detect but I got lucky I guess.
