Yeah, no risk no fun.

Just don't break a CRT open and eat the glass and you'll be safe. The lead keeps the x-rays from frying you.

the rad is a unit of radiation dose, with symbol rad. Rad stands for "radiation absorbed dose".

wiktionary wrote:The most direct meaning of "awesome" is "something which inspires awe", but the word is also a common slang expression in the English language. Similar to "hip" and "cool", the term became popular in the 1980s among North American youth. Its slang usage most likely originated among counter cultures such as skaters and surfers and continued to propogate through the grunge and drug culture of early 1990s Seattle. Slang usage of "awesome" increased again in the early 21st century partially due to nostalgia for the 1980s and early 1990s.

As the original meaning of awesome has become somewhat antiquated in general use, the term awe-inspiring is now generally used for the same meaning.
