Same situation here. We need to remove at least part of the oak leaves. They take years to decompose on their own and they just smother ensuring else that wants to grow there. We try to leave a few piles until spring but if we didn't manage the situation, the only plants thriving in the garden would be oaks.

And even if it worked, you wouldn't need a radiation source more dangerous than a banana to make a geiger counter go click enough to play along.

I actually know a guy who's favorite thing about his job is that he gets to count pollen.

I think that was what felisneurologists call "not his moment with the brain cell".

I always find the faster than light opera neutrinos a good example how actual serious scientists handle an experiment that break well established and proven basic laws of physics. Hint: They did it very differently than the people in the article.

It depends. Some people just can't deal with them and always get nauseous.
