5.0 out of 5 stars So glad I don't have to buy this from Libyans in parking lots at the mall anymore. January 21, 2009

By Kyle J. Von Bose

I bought this to power a home-made submarine that I use to look for prehistoric-era life forms in land-locked lakes around my home town in Alaska. At first I wasn't sure if this item would (or could) arrive via mail, but I was glad to see it showed up with no problems. Well, almost no problems.

Unfortuantly my mom opened my mail, because she does not respect people's privacy. She was pretty upset to see Uranium Ore. After a long argument and me running away from home again, she finaly stopped being such an idiot and I was able to get back to work.

The quality of this Uranium is on par with the stuff I was bying from the Libyans over at the mall parking lot, but at half the price! I just hope the seller does not run out, because I have many projects on my list including a night vision sasquatch radar, an electromagnetic chupakabra cage, a high velocity, aerial, weighted Mothman net and super heated, instant grill cheese sandwhich maker.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ok for cleaning teeth, not so great for killing ants.. December 3, 2007

By Nero Goldstein

Picked this up for use in one of my kid's 'diversity' projects in school (Great Success!), and stuck the leftovers in the cabinet next to the baking soda.

Ran out of toothpaste, and remembered how you're supposed to be able to use baking soda to clean your teeth, so of course, I accidentally used this instead, and Wow! all I can say is, my teeth have never been cleaner! They sparkle, they tingle, and for some reason, they STAY clean now, no matter what. Highly recommended!

However, when I ran out of that fire-ant killer powder stuff, I figured I would try some for that too.

Big mistake!

Boy, it sure did not kill those ants!

Fortunately, those suckers get slower as they get bigger, so I have been able to use a shovel to take care of most of them, one at a time though, the sneaky devils.

And the darn trash man refuses to take them away..

I would have given this product 5 stars for the teeth and the project on embracing diversity, but I deducted one star because of the giant mutant ants.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gift for a Hostile Dictator December 6, 2007

By Robert Becker

Sent this as a Hanukkah gift to President Ahmadinejad. Got a thank you card back saying he loved it and I was his favorite infidel. Kudos to Amazon for a great product and fast shipping to Tehran.

5.0 out of 5 stars Journal entry, day 91... November 17, 2009

By J. Laury

It's been almost 100 days since I "disposed" of the Uranium Ore I purchased from Amazon.com. Seeing as how they sent me 10 orders instead of 1 I thought it would be alright to dispose of the two or three cans in the backyard. 91 days later and I'm barricaded in my house, beseiged by mutated grasshoppers, bees, wasps, and ants the size of ponies. My food stores are dwindling; I only have a few gallons of Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz left, though a spritz of Uranium Ore has kept it fresh all this time. I'm down to my last box of Fresh Whole Rabbit as well. Even though I had to kill them (again), some of the Uranium Ore I used on the Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz has also helped them stay fresh during these past few months.

I'm not sure how much longer I can last here, the noises coming through the walls is constant, day and night. The scratching and scraping, the buzzing and chirping these mutated monsters make around the clock is, I fear, driving me inexorably further to the brink of insanity. I know that soon, I'll take my chances outside the door of my home and fight for survival in a world gone mad; but with my newly grown wings and the lobster-claw appendages that have sprouted from my back, I might just have a chance after all...

***5 stars, I mean come on, this stuff gave me wings and arms with lobster claws on them coming out of my back, how bitchin' is that???

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Product but not sold complete May 20, 2009

By J. INGHAM

This is a great product but for any serious application, you must also buy this :Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner

This is so you can centrifuge it and increase its applications.

Good luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard to Find Refill for Madame Curie Play Set March 6, 2010

By Wandrwoman TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

My daughter was hearbroken when she ran out of the uranium ore supply that came with her Madame Curie Playschool set. These things always happen at the most inconvenient times....in this case, when she was almost half way through recreating the Theory of Radioactivity. Of course, she has done this already over 20 times (and demonstrated the difference between polonium and radium) but like most 8 year olds, if you like something, you just do it over and over again! My husband and I looked everywhere for the uranium ore refill and I don't have to tell you how hugely popular the Madame Curie play set was over Christmas! The refill was sold out every where....even in Toys R Us and Costco. Finally, we found it on Amazon. The price is a bit high but it is certainly worth our daughter's happiness. She's been looking a bit pale lately (she's always been a little anemic) and this will certainly brighten her day!

1.0 out of 5 stars Movies Lie July 18, 2010

By Melvazord

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 Im coughing up blood, whats up with that?

Avoid.
