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).
