Found this on Amazon. Think I will order this instead of the cat treats I was going to buy.
From the description:
“Radioactive minerals are for educational and scientific use only.” Really?
Uranium is a naturally occurring element that can be found in low levels within all rock, soil, and water. U238 makes up 99% of the Uranium in the world and really isn’t all that radioactive. It IS an alpha source, but the half-life for U238 is over 4 billion years. That means it doesn’t decay very rapidly. U235, on the other hand, is the only fissile isotope occurring in nature… and is almost certainly not going to be found in any substantial quantity in this sample. Leave it in the can and you will be just fine. Just don’t go eating it or anything. 😉
Well it’s about time… The advent of commercially available, over the shelf, radioactive material puts us one step closer to flying cars and… dare i say it… Time machines…!! *gasp*
Wow, the reviews on amazon are pretty hilarious also. I especially like the limerick.
seriously… wtf o_O

It’s uranium *ore*.
Even if someone had the capability to turn it into fissile material, they’d get practically none.
Way to trample upon my dreams there sport…
