Poisoning steampunks in the park

(Via ML)

I believe that Geiger counters are about to become the must-have fashion accessory for the sensible steampunk-about-town.

Why?

Radioactive watch parts.
Mind, glowing in the dark could be handy when staggering back trousered to yr B&B. (although we is all well middle-class now isn't it, so it's going to be a cottage instead.)

Thus Steampunk gives way to Atompunk...

Seen the new Steampunk from Ghibli?

"My Neighbour Tottori"

in which a giant cat-rabbit thing is mutated by hot radium-rich spring water.

I'm not surprised, sadly.

It's the sort of 'mash up' (as I believe the web-using young people have it) that ought to spring into being via the magic of Applied Rule-34.

Rule 34 is the internet's Santa Claus.

Eventually someone will make a website that converts parsed text into Rule 34-fulfilling images (and/or videos), but we're not there yet.

It's just me that doesn't keep a Geiger counter, isn't it?

I feel like such a pleb.

[badnewswade]
