These are great! You can make your Model Rocket a Nuclear Missile!!! Plant them with your Potatoes and see if they grow brains and demand civil rights! Use then as "human repellants" for those pesky "no nukes" types!!!

They're safe... if you lived in the midwest, you get more radiation daily from the drinking water (Radon Gas). You could probably eat the damn thing and only have problems explaining why you ate it...

I was gonna buy one until I saw this at the bottom:

Note These items are indeed Radioactive but the green glow you see is NOT Cherenkov Radiation! These items are highly flourescent under UV Light! And that is where the glow is coming from!

I thought the glow was going to be that bright under normal lighting, how's anyone even gonna know its radioactive unless there's a black light around. This is what would happen as soon as I bought it:

Me: "hey dude, check out my radioactive ball"
Friend: "shut up -tk, thats a stupid dumb non-radioactive marble. everyone knows radioactive stuff glows bright green, like in the simpsons"
Me: "nuh-uh, it IS radioactive, it said so on ebay"
Friend: "whatever guy, I'm going to the bar, you have fun with your retarted rock"

I thought it as obvious it was not glowing because it is so highly radioactive. If it were glowing that brilliantly because of the radioactivity under normal lighting I do not believe it would be safe to handle without very special care and special garments that prohibit or at least inhibit the radioactive particles from passing through them.

fogive me, my sense of humor is a little off. I guess it's not a joke if you have to explain that it is in a fact a joke....

So what if I buy enough of these, crack them open and combine the Uranium innards till I get it to the point of critical mass?

I'd end the problem in the middle east real quick.... that's what! :rarr:

I really, really want one.... if I had a job I just might go and blow the cash on one....




Hell, knowing me I'll break down and bid before the end of tommrow... I'm such a sucker for these kindsa things, and even the case it comes in is damn sweet!
