Looking for Uranium Ore?

I just stumbled upon this and got a kick out of it. Kind of odd but you can buy Uranium 238 Ore from Amazon. Be sure to read the customer comments for a good laugh. Is it just me or does it seem like you should need some type of special license to buy and posses radioactive substances?

A few of the reviews.
By Jimbo Jones (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviewsI bought a can of this about 4.5 billion years ago, give or take a few million years, but when I went to use it today I noticed only half of it was still in the can. I swear I put the lid on tight. I'd give it more stars if it came in a better package.

When mixed with Tuscan whole milk I gained the power to control deceased woodland creatures. I am now in the process of raising an army of undead wombats to overthrow the government from deep within my volcanic lair. Soon you all will bow down before the wombat king!
By Rebecca "Avid reader" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviewsDoes any one know if this comes on the 3 oz travel size that is TSA approved?

I am also interested in the bulk pricing for the travel containers.

Thanks

When I visit friend from all world like the English, I only travel withs my Polonium... that's the Po baby, 84 on the big chart my main man. You gets it from this cheap imitations of the Uraniums... but this is for child. This is toy. It look like cray pas easters eggs paints. You stupid Americans flip radioactive symbols up the downsides. I scoff at this. You hear me scoffing? Maybe not but I am. Believe you me.

Seriously, polonium, it's the best way to say I have much to prove and to say... but without having to say that, the Polonium leaves a calling card to say this. It's just better if Polonium speak for you, words make no shapes sometime. Oh, and I am not with KGB. I am an Ice Cream salesman.
By wizzard (In my bunker) - See all my reviewsAll the other reviews are brilliant, but they're all based on too large of scale, impossible technology, or old information (we all know one can now power time machines with refuse), thus making this product impractical for these applications.

This product is for those occasions when a much smaller scale of tactical dominance is warranted or required. Perhaps the neighbor's dogs are barking way too much. That house across the road is throwing yet another party. The in-laws live way too close. The possible applications at this scale are almost endless. Add some timing or other triggers, and you could make sure that car that always parks in your space never comes back. Using the various home centrifuge kits available from many fine sources on the internet, it's much easier and practical to refine the uranium in these quantities. I'd stay away from the available do-it-yourself centrifuge constructions plans however. A good centrifuge is a device you really want to leave to those who know what they're doing.

If you think the cost of all this makes the use of this product impractical, you're likely basing your impression on the much larger counterparts. Remember that you're working on a much smaller scale here. You don't need big rockets, large launch areas or sophisticated guidance systems. You aren't trying to bomb Iran or New Jersey (either I'm sure would be primary target). All you'd do at this intended scale would be to kill a poor innocent camel or some Olds hooptie. With plans readily available (a search on this title should yield a result), you can make rather simple delivery, timing, and other trigger devices to address issues within your more personal sphere of influence. This makes this application much more economical than the much larger counterparts (an economics of scale as it were).

A word of caution; with the sophistication of plans available at this price point, I wouldn't count on any delivery system being accurate at over a block and a half at most. You do get what you pay for after all. The application this product is designed for is to address more local issues. You'll still need about 20 cans at these volumes to refine enough to take out a typical residential lot. But even a smaller amount used in a larger lot can yield desirable results if accurately deployed.

What's the point in looting landfills for the americium in smoke detectors when you can buy rich, smooth Uranium Ore by the ton from Amazon? Not only is it cost-effective, you'll keep your hands a lot cleaner. (Sterile, in fact.) And the process of refining the uranium is a great father-son project, perfect for teaching all-American values like teamwork, scientific curiosity, and resistance to interrogation.

I don't want to be super-critical here, but the one thing I wish is that this were offered in a two-for-one package with plutonium. Double your pleasure, double your fun!

I personally like the option to "add to baby registry"

It's funny that something like this should get posted, the last week I've been thinking about switching career paths and going into Uranium exploration.

See......now you don't have to explore. Amazon is one stop shopping for all your Uranium needs.

I never knew that it could be this easy. I'm going to have to check to see if they have any drums of oil for sale so that I can say I've made a new discovery.
