3. Radioactive Toy Set


Image source - orau

The Atomic Energy Lab was a toy set that allowed children to conduct their own experiments with genuine radioactive materials. It first went on sale in 1951 and remained on sale until the 1970s. The materials were labelled as “safe” and did only contain low levels of radioactive materials, but I bet there still wouldn’t be many parents in today’s world that would let their young children play with uranium ore.
I hear this the hottest selling toy in Iran this year...

When it was being sold it cost the equivalent of $400 bucks in todays money. It recently sold for $1700. Not a stocking stuffer gift for sure...

Amazon has uranium ore for $39.95, and it's in stock.

http://www.amazon.com/Uranium-Ore/dp...1130594&sr=8-1

This is one of those awesome Amazon product pages that is worth looking at just to read the comments:

Quote:
Now as for the uranium its self, I was using it for an at home science experiment I had seen on the internet in which you use the uranium, along with several car batteries, solar panels, water tank, steam collection tank, fans and presto, you have an at home nuclear reactor to power your entire house and live fully off the grid! I followed the instructions to a T and found that when I first powered on my at home reactor all was well. I had created my project in a tool shed at the back of my property as had been recommended in the instructions to keep separate from the home. With the system up and running I left it to work and went inside my home to enjoy my new free energy home. All was going well for several days until the living dead began to wake from the adjacent cemetery at the back of my property. Apparently the latent radiation from the uranium, and the by products from my home fusion reactor (which I was draining into the cemetery) can have the side effect of causing the dead to rise. No worries though, it wasn't like in the movies, they were very decomposed and slow, and with only a few quick blows from a shovel then were put down.
Quote:
Uranium ore is process intensive. I suggest forgoing this product and buying the yellow cake instead. I understand Iraq has a large quantity for sale, at reasonable prices. Don't tell the USA, they are still looking for it. They will never think to look on Amazon.
Quote:
I started using this as a spice a few months ago for many of the foods that I cook for my family. Aside from the terrible taste of my food and the larger number of casualties, I highly recommend this product to anyone who shares a little problem with me. You see, the lights are always out at night in my house and I always have to pee at night. My wife would always complain about the urine all over the place in the morning. Now, my pee glows in the dark! Say good-bye to wet-sticky toilet seats in dark bathrooms America! A much higher percentage of my urine enters the toilet now.
Quote:
I bought this product because I heard from my Native American friends that it promotes vivid dreams. I have used it under my pillow for three weeks and no luck so far, though most of my hair has fallen out and my teeth are loose.
Quote:
Do not be fooled by this product. I bought this along with four terrapins and a rat (since I couldnt lay my hands on a warthog and a rhino). I rubbed this product into my skin and gums then rolled around with the terrapins and the rat. Long story short I did NOT end up with my own crime-fighting mutant superhero team. The rat bit me and I crushed the terrapins. Also I now have a strange rash and I'm coughing up blood, whats up with that?
Quote:
My neighbor bought a new TV recently - Samsung PN58C7000 58-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV (Black) - and he's been lording it over me ever since. Once I figure out how to weaponize this stuff we'll see if he looks so smug.
Quote:
Ok so I bought this the other day and it came in the mail today. I then uploaded a video and sent the link to the French. Within the hour they have surrendered. Thank you Uranium Ore I now have my own country to run.
Quote:
I purchased this product 4.47 Billion Years ago and when I opened it today, it was half empty.

Do you want some? One vase of my balcony only has uranium minerals, I can spare some.

PS: No, I am not joking!
