re the Geiger Counter link...Me and a bunch of other physics PhD students in Brisbane, were in an office on the end of our building, so it caught a lot of sun through the window and on the external wall.
Consequently it was bloody hot, and there was no airconditioning. As a joke (well, it works for physicists) I put a sign on the office door: 'WARNING: High levels of thermal radiation!', which is physics for 'It's hot'.
A month or so later, we got around to asking why the cleaners had stopped empying our wastepaper bin.
