    Uranium Ore

    Though the reviews for Tuscan Milk are just as amusing.

    Me: Okay..so I think I get why Zoro wears a bandana
    DDD: Cuz it's cool

    So, by using the Doctor's reasoning, bow ties, fezzes and bandanas are cool.

      Most uranium ore would be only mildly radioactive at best (granite is radioactive, and a lot of people pay good money to get kitchen countertops made of it). First, an ore is not equivalent to pure metal. Second, uranium exists in several different isotopes, with the most common (in the 97%+ range) being U238. U238 is not radioactive, in fact due to its density (more dense than lead) it is used as radiation shielding. Note that I'm talking about pure U238, not "depleted uranium" (which is the leftovers from "enriched uranium") - DU still has trace quantities of U235 (the material used in "Little Boy", dropped on Hiroshima), since it's basically a waste product rather than a purified final product. These traces (along with uranium being toxic, regardless of the isotope) are why tanks hit by "friendly fire" during Desert Storm were quarrantined as hazardous waste.

        I was wondering how the fuck that was legal but I see why under "Product Features".

        Apparently it's low radioactivity and is for scientific purposes etc.

          Yeah, stuff like that is usually used for equipment calibration. To get an amount that could be refined to even a hazardous level puts you on a number of watch lists.

            I love reading the product reviews on this one

                Ok.... http://www.amazon.com/Cloverdale-Fre...d_sbs_indust_2

                Holy Heck, read the reviews on the fresh whole rabbit! But don't have liquid in your mouth when you do it!

                "Like many suburban homeowners, I like to kill and eat the wild animals that populate my backyard. To keep it sporting, I hunt naked, with my teeth and long sharpened fingernails as my only weapons. I've feasted on squirrel, raccoon, vole and numerous songbirds. But no matter how long I lay spread eagle and motionless in the hot noonday sun, I have never been able to outwit and catch any of the plump and juicy rabbits that hop just outside my reach and then bolt for the woods when I leap forward with a blood-curdling shriek. I have chased them at a dead run through the yards of the many unoccupied homes that surround mine but the pursuit always ends in frustration. But no more, thanks to Amazon. Every week, I order a fresh whole rabbit and affix it to a remote control car that is operated by one of my children. This way, I get the thrill of the hunt, and when the car's batteries are exhausted, I can leap upon it, bury my teeth into the rabbit's soft flesh and perform my ritual victory dance right there in the Walgreen's parking lot. "
