Interesting Christmas Present

Ok - picture this scene:

Little Billy:     Hi! Santa!
Santa Claus:     Ho! Ho! Ho! Hello little Billy! You've been a good boy, so what do you want for Christmas?
Little Billy:     Well, I really like Spiderman, but what I really, really, really want is a small tin of uranium.
Santa Claus:     Uh...sure Billy. Will do.

Santa would be in a bit of a bind there, eh? Luckily, Amazon.com has some listed. Really.

From the website:


Radioactive sample of uranium ore. Useful for testing Geiger Counters. License exempt. Uranium ore sample sizes vary. Shipped in labeled metal container as shown.

List Price: $24.95 / Price: $22.95 / You Save: $2.00 (8%)

Now - that's pretty funny by itself. But, you have to see the product reviews! For example, a guy from Chicago (IL) wrote the following:

Great product, lousy packaging.

I 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.

Good stuff! That may be the first uranium half-life joke that I have ever heard!
