Re: On My Holiday List
I wonder how that Aluminum Powder disappointed. Because you know one person gave it a five and another gave it a three. He probably complained about the aluminum oxide layer, to which someone in his review's comments corrected him that all aluminum exposed to the atmosphere will have it. But it's too late; the review is in, the star rating is sealed, and now thousands of people will be misled and misdirected until the producer makes an intern write a positive review.

This is my favorite amazon listing, but only because of the user pics below the main image: Steering Wheel Desk http://amzn.com/B000IZGIA8

Observation being an intrusive act, the product is now "not currently available." You can still obtain yellowcake in bulk ...

Hilarious, and for the connoisseur of Amazon reviews, I do recommend Tuscan Whole Milk.

The license exemption is just what we were looking for! A great addition to our nuclear w̶e̶a̶p̶o̶n̶s̶ power program.

United Nuclear has a variety of uranium ore and isotope check sources available for online ordering (the isotopes can be shipped only within the United States). I use a 5 microcurie Cæsium-137 check source like this in my HotBits random number generator, which has been accessible on the Web since 1996.

As long as they ship it in a blister pack I don't think we have anything to worry about.

I'd rather have some plutonium to power the nuclear reactor that energizes a flux capacitor ... which of course is what makes time travel possible.

Re: On My Holiday List
Once you get your Geiger counter calibrated with your Christmas gift take it (Geiger counter) over to the potatoes, bananas, smoke alarms and various other household items to measure the radioactivity found in each!

Do you think it would run a DeLorean? Oh wait, that was plutonium. Still . . . do you think it would run a DeLorean?

Cool, Rob. Just now my Ricochet sidebar AdChoices ad was from Amazon, including the Uranium in the product rotation, along with a magnetic anomaly UFO detector.

Rob are you sure this isn't an internet scam? That looks like a Photoshopped picture. I saw somewhere on the internet that same container and warning with the words "Caution: Made by Bain Capital" on it.
