Wow!
Check this out....just what I always wanted, my own radioactive uranium ore sample!

Select your radiation level.

Oh yes, I need me one of those.

After six kids....maybe I should carry one around in my pocket...

RADIOACTIVE MARBLES!

Btw did you see the section on making your own x-ray machine? Fun for the whole family. Actually THIS has me wondering if i could mix it with something and paint my room. The apt manager would never suspect a thing until the next tenant moved in and turned out the light. hehe

How would you store a highly radioactive uranium ore sample?

The site makes a statement about radioactive rock collectors.
I also noticed that the majority of the samples are imported from The People's Republic of Congo.
I wonder how many Congolese people have died from radiation sickness to get those specimens to the U.S.

Finally! Now I can power my Bionic-Robot-Death-Squad Troopers and charge the batteries on my Extra Large Bionic-Robot-Death-Squad Smoothie and Juice machine.

Ah, the good things in life!

Yes it is. I thought it was bogus but apparently it's real.
There's an order page and everything.

You also get this "Certificate of Measured Radiation" with your ore sample.

I can just picture some scientists in white lab coats playing practical jokes on each other with that phosphorescent powder Susan mentioned.

You could put it in someone's drink and it would make their teeth glow green after they drank the liquid.
Then you could say to them, "My what a radiant smile you have today!"

I have to ask: Does it shine in the dark?

And ASHTHECAT, this is just great. Now you can build a model nuclear plant to give power to all the doll houses in the hood and make a fortune.
