Marie Curie's notebooks are radioactive and must be stored in a lead-lined box in the Bibliothèque Nationale. Curie’s corpse is also radioactive. Her coffin is lined in an inch of lead. Both will remain radioactive for 1,500+ years.

An ex-girlfriend told me that she was inspired to study science after seeing Marie Curie's labcoat in a museum.

She also said that after looking at the burn-marks in the pockets from the radium that Curie used to carry, she decided to study bio-sciences rather than physics. :D
