Frank -

I think you really should pick a good solid scientific instrument name for it... nothing deceptive.... and get a good looking name plate engraved. Put a serial number on it or label it experimental and you are all set. A "Fragile, Extremely Delicate, Light Sensitive Electronic Instrument" tag wouldn't hurt either.

That is a great idea Dave. Maybe I could call it a ballistic nuclear photonic downstater. Well I guess that would not make another person very calm. But maybe just simple a low intensity natural light detector. Great advice that I will revisit after I get some much needed sleep! Is it the weekend yet?

It is all in a name!

I have an old, pre-WWII alarm clock I picked up at an antique show. In the 20's and 30's a super big deal was made about Ra dialed clocks and watches (they carried a stiff premium over there dark brothers).

The one I am talking about is labeled near the center of its 5"X5" face in big white letters.... "Radium Fireball". What a great name!
