    The fact that Thorium and Uranium are just “probably not a good idea” makes me think that the scale is based on licking like an ore that contains them rather than the pure element

      I’m pretty sure I could get away with licking my uranium ore sample. Not going to test it apropos of nothing though.

      A lot of those trans-uranium (and astatine) aren’t going to exist in lick-able quantities anyway.
