If we could piggyback on a chem dept from Emory or Ga Tech  
for HazMat disposal, I doubt that there would be much need  
to get a grant. I suspect that the big budget item will be  
responably disposing of the end remains of the dearly  
departed.

Thinking about it, isn't there a science museum in Atlanta?  
They might provide an umbrella organization for the funding  
process.

This could be fun in a weird sort of way. Must think on  
it...
