Can I buy it? Please? Please? I want it soooo bad....Because nothing is as badass as owning your own... It's not even decommissioned, or un-enriched.

wow....just wow.... you know what... i think you should lol, and when the government knocks on your door, i'll laugh.
though it has many uses, like making bullets stronger, and besides you could probally make a sling stone outa it. or just call it kryptonite and run around killing super man. *shrug*

Well George, depleted uranium ore is a big responsibility. You have to walk it, bathe it, feed it to children. But since you've been growing up, I don't see why not. But remember, he's your responisiblity. Oh, and I the only one who's amused that we can get it with a dvd set of Futurama.

I bought the uranium. We're now entering a storyline of epic proportions.
ETA: 2 Days
P.S. Who the hell said it was depleted?

Like Dan says, U-235 is a big responsibility. I hope you have a lead lined cage to put it in when its bad and lead gloves to deal with its "little accidents". Housebreaking will be hard, but who hasn't become sterile for their pet? Well, at least I hope that's all you'll have to become in order for it to go on the papers instead of the carpet.
And I think we should watch that DVD with George now. I sort of like Futurama.

oh yeah...as a side note,
don't ever bring it over our houses. I'm exposed too enough chemicals that i'm probally taking off a good chunk of my lifespan, I don't need extra radation to do it.
I handle so many carsonagentics it aint funny (as a side note, try to bring that stuff near me, and you better never drink another beverage in my presense again, I'm sure I can find something that's soluable in water and has a low lethal dose ;D)
but seriously, it's really not that bad, its if U-235 its really nothing that bad. it just emits alpha particles (they're blocked by paper, the dead skin cells on your body at any given time, etc.) so i mean you'll be fine.
hell you can buy a perodic table that has a little bit of each element in a capsule, including Uranium, Plutoianium, and all of the other radioactive metals.
still though, i'd rather not have it near me. I have enough against my life already.....like most.....make that all of you.

I did a tiny bit of research. This unfortunately isn't specifically U-235 and is considered a "Low-Level Radioactive Material".
It's supposed to be used in science labs, or for Geiger Counter testing. (That's the list the site has, at least.)
Irony of the hour: "Uranium is a dense metal that has uses outside of the nuclear power industry. It is used as a target for X-ray production, as ammunition for some types of military weaponry, as a shield against radiation, as a counterweight for aircraft control surfaces and in the gyroscopes of inertial guidance systems.

Hey Chase chimed in and told me the following (and I quote):
"If he needs more Uranium, let me know."
And you know what, I think he might be pretty legit.

Can always use more uranium.

Dear word, you're a chemistry major. You can at least spell the words you have to work with correctly. This gets a sad face from me not because of grammar (ain't is fine in my book if used for comedic effect), but because I am disappointed with the fact that you are exposed to these words too often to misspell them that badly. Really, Biczo.

I'm with Dennis on this one. Dammit man, you may rape the rules of spelling and grammar on a regular basis, but you should at least be able to spell the words that are integral to your freakin' career.
Oh and George, I can't help but feel that the line "can always use more uranium" will come back to haunt us.

I had that thought. Us stopping in the middle of a desert in southern nevada. The volvo we stole just ran out of gas, and overheated to boot. We sit down as I brush the sweat off my brow. "Guys, we... might be in trouble now." I say as the flashing lights of the police and FBI flicker on the horizon. Dan pulls out a guitar. "Last one, boys. Make it count."
The bullets whiz cut through the air, and through us. We fall to the ground, Dan still desperately and furiously playing his guitar. The echoing gunshots and chorus wildly hit an ever increasing crescendo. Then silence. The guitar split on the ground. The police severely confused.
...And THEN the nuke in the trunk goes off, and the shadows of the scene are permanantely eched in the landscape for all time.

cut to Tahite where we are all
Bix: "see guys I told you those clones of us would come in handy"
Dan: "yeah, though it was a was for something so beautiful to die"
Dennis: "hell if the other Biczo didn't die, the world hunger rate would go up three-fold"
George: "hey guys, you know what the best thing is, *we all look at him* I still have one of these *pull out little device*"
Vito: "Damn it George, you're the reason we can't have nice things"

So this sucker's sitting next to me now.
I'm currently afraid of it. It just sits there.
According to the side of the can, it releases 650 CPM, which is 10 clicks on a geiger counter each second. That's a damned scary thought sometimes...

So now the new question, what do we do with it? I'm certain that body jewelry is out and using it as a paper weight doesn't do it justice. I guess we could always hold onto it in case we ever absolutely have to take down a super villain or something.
