I think that's called a recipe for disaster. NOTE: I am also 104.225.172.143. 138.43.101.123 14:36, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

My best recipe comes with a Notice to Mariners Hcs (talk) 14:45, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
I added a transcript. Hopefully it's okay. 104.225.172.143 14:54, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
A gram of gold runs on the order of ~$100 USD as of writing; a gram of cs-137 looks to be in the millions~billions range. --158.91.163.9 14:55, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
- Caesium contamination usually is caused by nuclear accidents (or atmospheric nuclear weapon tests) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137#Environmental_contamination. It is unlikely that someone acquired pure Cs-137 and then "accidentally" contaminated the shrimp with that. --134.102.219.31 15:31, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
Bothering the NSA shouldn't be hard, just write some of their secrets on a cake (with frosting is optional) and post it online. 212.101.26.209 14:57, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
What would IMO do, revoke your math license? 216.73.162.10 15:22, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
