Radioactive isotopes are used to measure fossils and other artifacts. While an organism is alive, it takes in isotopes. Once the organism dies, the isotopes do not enter the body anymore. Scientists can estimate how much of the radioactive isotopes were present in the body to begin with and then determine how much is currently left.

Get the radiochemical datingmug. Fictional rules invented by girls to confused guys, during a relationship. Generally, these rules contradict eachother, and it is impossible to follow them correctly.
There is the common "statement" form, encountered when an action is illegal:
"John! You moved my lettuce to shelf four of the refridgerator! that is so against the rules!"
Also common is the "impossible question" form, where no correct answer is possible:
"Tim. Does this dress make me look fatter than normal?"
"Do you know what day it is today?"
Rare, but still worth mentioning, is the "invented" form:
"This form was invented to fill up some space on the page"

Get the dating rulesmug. A politically correct and evasive term for racist dating
Many people come up with this as an excuse to only date particular races because they "cannot help being attracted to a specific group of people"
The UN defines racial discrimination as "any distinction, exclusion, restriction or PREFERENCE based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin ..."
Believe it or not, many people also refuse to date their own race/ethnicity - that is also racist, no matter how you look at it
