Here in the former Colonies, we have solved a more vexing disposal problem:
what to do with nuclear power plant waste. We just keep dumping it into
the pools conveniently located adjacent to each plant. After a while, it
decays to (um) lead?


And then you all die of lead poisoning.

Actually, I'm just in the process of having a small house extension
built. The flashing (where the new lean-to roof meets the old wall) is
lead. Should I be worried?
