I thought that my Kodak printer was acting odd lately. Here's its latest consumables report:

Black Cartridge: 45%
Color Cartridge: 65%
Californium-252: 2x10^5 half-lives

Gosh, you mean the defense contractor that happens to be the father of modern digital imaging did Quality Control? Stop the presses! We have a real controversy here!

I still miss Kodachrome.

Mama don't take my Kodachrome or U235 away!

Vladimir Putin pushes the button and Obama genuflects and his head bobbles!

This 3 - 1/2 lbs of Uranium was less than a critical mass.

Was this really a reactor or just a radioactive source that used uranium?

Either way, I hope it is disposed of properly.

"Californium Neutron Flux multiplier"

Isn't this story about 6 weeks late?

Another Kodak moment.

No wonder every 8mm film my Dad sent to them for processeing was over exposed.

f8 and be there.

"And how did they get permission to own it, let alone install it in a basement in the middle of a densely populated city?"

Didn't Bette Middler used to sing the answer to this? "Ya got ta have Frie-ends..."

Now, if it had been a Californium Neutron Flux Capacitor we could have had 'time' to go back and stop it before it happened.
