    Find old WW2 bomber instrumentation.  The government used fairly
    serious radioactive material in the glow-in-the-dark phospher
    instrumentation markings.  I forget what it was exactly.
    It isn't enough to hurt you (though bomber pilots staring at rows upon 
    rows of these instruments for long periods of time might be a different
    story), but they should be sufficient to mess up any high density memory
    placed in close proximity (less then an inch away).
