Don't the security precautions taken for 501 seem a bit extreme? A lightly guarded, opaque safe would seem sufficient.
Give unto me that which I desire, and I shall want no more.
A neat concept, short enough to not loose its punch, yet detailed enough to make it interesting.

Why guard/film/stare at a black box all the time if the object within only affects anyone that sees it? Nothing is mentioned that necessitates additional containment procedures beyond locking it in a box and making sure no one opens said box. Which would also make this Safe, not Euclid. Moreover, a containment breach in its glorious entirety would be one person, sitting in front of a (formerly) locked box, staring at the object naked and hairless. Until he or she dies of thirst. Or sepsis. So not only is it containable, it is easily recontainable.
I like the rest of the article, beyond the containment procedures, because it's a simple and neat concept that is well executed. Null vote, until it's either edited or someone convinces me that I'm being unreasonable.
A wise and creative Foundation would keep this in the same containment area as SCP-810, preferably in adjacent lockers, and require that they both be present in all experiments, because of SCP-810's apparent ability to reverse the effects of this item when used judiciously.
For some reason, those lines by the D-Class are good enough to convince me not to downvote what's otherwise a very poorly aged article about "thing that makes people obsess over it". I really, really wish someone comes and rewrites it, though.
