SUPERSCORE!!!

Was looking for some shelves in a thrift market today, and found this.

Appears to be a civilian issued version of my other Civil Defence dosimeter, but this one has a Ratemeter too. Price tag on box is 24.95, in 1961 dollars. Google says thatā€™s about 188.99 dollars today.

Donā€™t know who Mr. Singer is, or much about Allied Chemical, but sounds an awful lot like a Vault-Tec Letter.

Gonna look real nice next to the others. Gotta get me a display case.

Nope, but the Wikipedia for it looks cool.

Quick question.
Does anybody (without looking it up) remember Hale-Bopp?

It came up at work the other day. Maybe 5% remembered it, another 30% remembered the Heavenā€™s Gate cult, but couldnā€™t connect it.

Just curious. As always.

Hale-bopp was a comet Passed in the 90s
Thatā€™s the extent of my knowledge on that.

Heavens gate were the nike wearing cult, mass suicide in the 80s?, leader had a cool sounding name but cant remember it.
I wouldnā€™t have made a connection between the two except for you mentioning one, but the cult had something to do with aliens/ufos/ spaceā€¦so I guess? thatā€™s the connection.

Oh they were in California too I think?

Thats the one

They tried to suicide their way back to the mothership hiding in the cometā€™s tail. Pretty sad way to go.

On a less depressing note. I just find it weird how many people have no recollection of a GIANT FLAMING COMET that was in the sky for like 2-3 months. Makes me think of the War of the Worlds TV show where they explained everything being normal in the present time as a mass hysteria / amnesia reaction.

Somewhat related, the Mandela Effect is basically that in reverse, a vivid memory in large numbers of people of something being a way it never was. Funny how unreliable the human mind can be.

Never got around to posting this, but I think I might have found the perfect use for a dangerous things sticker.
