Oh crap! Now I've got one more thing to spend money on!!!

I spent a day with high school students studying Z0 decay events at Argonne National Lab. These would make great little classroom toys!

I wonder if I throw the electron and positron at each other fast enough if I could make a lot more of these plush toys...

It's tempting. Insects would go over better at the moment, though.

This is interesting... they have the plague but no HIV... which i guess makes sense because HIV is still a contemporary disease, but still. It's a weird idea.

That said, Mad Cow is sorta adorable, as is Chicken Pox

EDIT: Guess I was wrong... here he is:
