Anyone else hear about this... For the first time ever I was listening to the radio since I was driving my moms car for service for her... Apparently over the last few years, 20% of walmart exit signs, 16,000 or so in total have been stolen and experts think its because of the radioactive gas that makes them glow... Can't remember the name of the actual element, but it is a big enough threat where walmart is in direct touch with homeland security about the issue... think 16,000 x the amount in an actual neon sign = one hell of a bomb. Walmart has stopped using those signs.

How friggin crazy is that?

 

The best part is no one noticed until recently. walmart ftw. Wonder what else you can just walk out with there

 

dude, thats some scary ****

Maybe walmart is the cause of the end of the world?

 

wasnt that a south park episode?

 

****, they caught on to me.

 

google "radioactive boyscout"

never underestimate a smart kid w/ a chemistry book.

 

 

that's the reason I'm anti-Boston.

those signs were awesome! I wish i had one.

 

All of the hysteria was ridiculous! I remember watching the news and thinking "WTF? TERRORISM!?!?" haha


Anyways... Dirty bombs out of exit signs... who would have thought?

Smoke detectors? I always new they had some radio active stuff in them, didn't know it was enough to do damage.
