      Here’s a fun fact

      Thomas Edison was one of the first people to speak out against putting radium in fucking everything. When everyone was going absolutely nuts for radiation, Edison refused to join the craze and wouldn’t work with radium or polonium after watching an assistant develop a skin condition after working with X-rays.
