ironically enough, all of the tiles surround the urinals…lol… sorry guys.
… but Rick said that simply using the bathroom is fine, someone would have to sleep on the tiles over night in order to develope any residual symptoms… such as developing cancer :ahh: but it’s still scary…
Old fiesta ware is the same way. I believe orange was the worst, so much in fact that I’ve been warned not to eat off OLD orange fiesta ware. (old as in really old.) Not sure if today’s fiesta ware is radio active I haven’t checked in a while.
Old fiestaware is radioactive because uranium was used to obtain that nice orange color. New fiestaware is not radioactive. you can get the old stuff in antique stores for about 20 bucks a plate. Interesting that old watches used radioactive sources to paint the dials so they would glow in the dark. unfortunately, the people that painted the dials developed cancer of the tonge. why tongue? well, how do you make your brush nice and pointy?..
Interesting you brought up the watches. Right here in Connecticut were alot of watch and clock manufacturers. Only about five minutes from where I am is the old Seth Thomas factory, now subdivided and leased out. There was a story in the paper months ago on how some of the sections of the building show radioactive readings. Why, because these are the rooms where they painted the dials and spilled the uranium from time to time. They mentioned how some of these people developed cancer of the mouth and tongue. Also during WWII these companys retooled and made compasses for the war effort.
Just be glad that the men’s room at your school isn’t pink!! lol
Let’s hear it for WHS ladies and gentlemen… :rolleyes:

:yikes: Who told you about our plan to paint the bathroom?[/quote]
Unfortunately Elgin’s not joking! Except for the tan tile floor and white fixtures everything is bright pink! :ahh: They did this a few years ago, from what I was told, because kids were hanging out in there and smoking so they found the brightest pink color they could find for the bathroom with the thought of “Who would hang out in here?”. Note they only did this to the mens room. Now if they really wanted to stop people from hanging out in there they should frame and post this “Radioactive Bathroom” thread on the wall! 
As a side note when I went to school there it was the typical school green. You don’t know how much I really miss the green!
I didn’t think he was joking, and neither am I. We almost did that a year? ago.
LOL, we weren’t going to paint the whole bathroom…just the urinals. 
Toobad school didn’t allow it, party poopers. 
It wouldn;t have been that bad considering the bathroom is for guys & girls, it would of been amusing though.
Who said just the urinals, and who said the school didn’t allow it?
Don’t you dare repaint the bathroom pink. It’s bad enough being radioactive.
Yes there were Jay!! LOL and I should know!! HA!!
But seriously, yes Elgin Clock is my real name but no I don’t have any ties to the company of the same name.
But you know what is even funnier?
I was born in Bristol CT, home of the famous watch and clock museum!!
Weird huh? Either that or Scary!
:ahh:
BTW, I have a picture of our pink bathroom that I have to upload to the gallery and then I will post it… Can you stand the wait?
And hey, what version of The Sims let’s you edit the colors of the fixtures??? What the heck man, I’ve got to upgrade!!!
LOL, I give. I don’t know which is more pathetic.
I…I just cant believe there’s a thread about that bathroom on Delphi. Stop putzing around in there and go build the robot
(j/k…I know you guys are doing great)
Geez Jess, what do you mean you can’t believe there’s a photo? Remember you’re dealing with us! Although I will admit I think Redhead Jokes Sims bathroom is nicer. Now if we can only convince the school board that a renovation is in order. Notice the green walls also, kinda reminds you of Easter with the two colors.
That’s also one pic I won’t use for my “Who am I photo”!
Next stop, Mr. Fusion!!! (oh, and a flying Delorian!)
at the end of the article, it says that he won second place at the international science fair.
I wanna see what project won first.
