re: #150 darthstar

Dear god…looking through this reminds me of a book my grandfather wrote in the late 40s/early 50s about the dangers of X-Rays and Gamma Rays…I think my ex wife ended up with it…it was about 50-60 pages, pocket sized, and he’d penned notes for a revision he would never complete. The one thing I remember from it is his writing “Gamma Rays can kill you, so if someone points a Gamma-Ray device at you, do not hesitate, but SHOOT the son of a bitch with buckshot” Yes…my grandfather was a little bit off, paranoid, etc. But he had a cool name: Ralph Emerson McCabe.

Charles should put up an “insane relative stories overnight thread” sometime so we can all share. It would be a sleepless night for me.
