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 that’s about 188.99 dollars today.

Don’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 Heaven’s Gate cult, but couldn’t connect it.

Just curious. As always.

Hale-bopp was a comet Passed in the 90s
That’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 wouldn’t have made a connection between the two except for you mentioning one, but the cult had something to do with aliens/ufos/ space…so I guess? that’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 comet’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.
