Some choice quotables...

So, apparently Ford developed a concept car in the late 50s called the Nucleon that was, as one might suppose, intended to run off of a small nuclear reactor.

With beautiful understatement, Wikipedia notes that:

The main dangers of the car would be the radiation, nuclear waste and a possibility of a small nuclear meltdown.

Next, according to the British paper The Guardian:

Astronomers searching for the building blocks of life in a giant dust cloud at the heart of the Milky Way have concluded that it tastes vaguely of raspberries.

And smells of rum.

But don't get too excited, 'cause by the time your senses registered this (assuming you could expose yourself to near-vacuum in order to even attempt the experience) the poisonous propyl cyanide would do you in.
