Silicon-32 and oxygen-16 make outstanding neutron dampers in the temperature regime of interest at the time, and the admixture of water gave just enough gamma rays from deuterium formation so you could estimate in real time what the neutron flux actually was.

 

And all this happened in L. Marcus's surfing cottage, atop the biggest deposit of thorium sands in Aland.

... Because it orbits the star Y Boötis, which is a constant star given a variable star designation by mistake. 

 

Kind of like when Death Tribble wakes up in the middle of the night and the police car flashers make odd reflections in the glass eyes of his stuffed animals.

Hermit was the eleventh participant in The Hunting of the Snark, in which he was listed as the Bunker-Dweller.  He actually met the Boojum first, and vanished away laughing, having (through the agency of the hunted beastie) attained a bunker from which he could not be disturbed.  The vanishing was so thorough that he vanished from the manuscript, as well.

It is explicitly prohibited under the Geneva Conventions to shoot Death Tribbles out of artillery pieces into cities, whether or not there is an armed garrison present or whether the civilian population has been evacuated.  An amendment excludes cities in Belgium from this protection, because Death Tribbles are native there and they have already done all the damage they can.

One of Death Tribble's great if disruptive amusements is to take several sucker-tip dart guns with him into a supermarket, climb into a shopping basket, and perform drive-by dart gun shootings of random shoppers while an accomplice propels him down the aisles at speed.
