I just checked out a book about uranium.

[Jack Schitt]

From my campus library.

I'm using it to do a mineral report/analysis on uranium for my geomorphology paper (which is on the Duluth Complex that helped form Lake Superior).

I wonder if the Dept. of Homeland Security will come a'knockin' on my front door soon???

:eyes:

1. Oh, thought uranium was a new credit card.

I'll be going now.

3. As long as we don't have to check out Uranus.

I'm right behind ya!:evilgrin:

7. You cannot check-out Uranus...

in the night sky unless you have a powerful telescope. It's a very dim magnitude 5.7 (cannot be seen w/ the naked eye).

But I know you're not talking about that Uranus. :evilgrin:

5. They only show up when they know you're a terrarist.

At least that's what my RW father in law believes about the Patriot Act.

Are you a terrarist?

[Jack Schitt]

9. What do you think?

No, I'm not a terrarist.

6. Probably so. There is no mention of geomorphology in Genesis.

As an aside, did you know that you can buy uranium online?

They won't deliver to Gitmo though.

8. I already own uranium.

It's in the uranium-ore uraninite(UO2), which is about the size of a fingernail.

It doesn't have nearly enough radiation to do anything. Hell, an ant wouldn't be able to get radiation poisoning from it because there's such a small amount of uranium in it.

10. Now they definitely are coming to your door. n/t

11. I'll make sure to bake cookies then.
