blows up! Not worth the risk of trying to "save" them, the chemical reaction is taking place within the cubes, where microscopic cracks are admitting oxygen and water vapor, which hastens the deterioration. You should call the Bomb Squad and watch 'em spring into action. Guaranteed to be a fun time as your entire neighborhood is evacuated. At least that's the scenario in jittery California.

We once had a Neighborhood Clean-Up and I brought in a baggie with some corroding ammunition - maybe six 22's. Hoo-boy, what a ruckus. The Bomb Squad showed up in record time and told me to NEVER do something like that again. Thought I'd be going to jail (this was before Donald thought up El Salvador as a good place to send undesirables) but the Squadron Leader just put the baggie in his pants pocked and strode away. I was tempted to ask, if they are so dangerous, how can you do that? But decided to hold my tongue.

I'd rate celluloid dice as more dangerous, so plead with you - and anyone else on this site - if your dice are showing signs of chemical deterioration and strange smells - to dispose of them post-haste. Or ignore me, and we will see YOUR name in the next "RIP" post here.
