Hey,
We used to have a basketball team at Roxby Downs (Copper / Uranium / Gold
mine and metallurgical plant) called "The Radon Daughters"...composed of
staff from environment and radiation safety). And an opposing team from the
copper refinery called "The Anode Slimes"....

Subject: The Isotopes
Here is something to brighten your day, RADSAFERs.
The new Albuquerque, N. M. baseball team is called the ISOTOPES!!
The logo is a capital A (for Albuquerque) surrounded by orbiting baseballs
(as in the familiar electron orbit logo). The team's owner is quoted in
this morning's paper as saying that he doesn't know exactly what an isotope
is.
In the words of Dave Barry: I am not making this up.
Apparently the idea is from the Simpsons, not from Sandia or Los
Alamos Labs.
