    That should have read 'Thomas More', not 'Moore'.

    I thought of a puzzle months ago, but did not post because it may only make sense to US residents[SUP][1] [/SUP]. Posting now, because there is not much traffic here anyway.

    So, US residents: Sending you into the jungle[SUP][2][/SUP] on a quest to find you[SUP][3] [/SUP](and the emptiness of life and such)

    [1] I think this can be worked around, if you solve the next point (the context).
    [2] The jungle = the context of the puzzle. Solve this first:

    [3] Don't go existential... be kewl and remember that we are all made up of atoms and molecules. Solve this before the actual hunt below.

    In the jungle... keep looking - if at first you don't find anything, be scientific and industrious about it.
    And if you are still not sure, look around... this has been talked about much.
    After zeroing in - seek the wisdom of St.Patrick. Your reward will hopefully be a smile.​

    Aria is off having fun with family, so I suppose the puzzle is all mine to solve. You'll have to bear with me floundering around the clues. :)

    Okay I got as far as a can of U-238. That $10.49 shipping is a racket! Where to from there?

    Many of the reviews are incredibly funny.:) Though to be pedantic, Mr McGovern's can of U-238 won't actually be half-empty. It will be half-full of Thorium, Protactinium, Uranium-234, Radium, Radon, Polonium, Astatine, Bismuth, and Lead, as some other pedantic geek pointed out in the comments.

    I saw that :biggrin2:
    Hence the reference to emptiness of life (or maybe I should have said meaning of life) - is it really half empty? or something else entirely? :biggrin2:
