Amazon: You Can Buy Anything

I found this item on Amazon.com. It has the funniest reviews ever (Note to FBI: Don't worry, I was not trying to buy one!)

Uranium Ore
by Images SI Inc.
List Price: $24.95
Price: $22.95
You Save: $2.00 (8%)

Some of the many hilarious reviews:

The container said it was "Uranium Ore" but when I opened it, it was clearly Plutonium. I still used it, but I was severely disappointed.

The shipment was fast and came in a glad bag as an added protection. They didn't even require a signature for the package, so that was nice as I don't want people to know that I'm planning to take over the world with thise uranium ore.

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.

Does any one know if this comes on the 3 oz travel size that is TSA approved?

I am also interested in the bulk pricing for the travel containers.

Thanks

When I finally finished and successfully tested my first plutonium powered Dolorean time machine, I was a bit miffed by the fact that I had to accelerate all the way up to 88 mph before the flux capacitor would be able to kick in and send me into the great beyond. This is quite a pain when you live in the city and have to drive all the way to places like closed shopping malls, drive-in theatres, abandoned highways, and rail road tracks to get up to that kind of speed. Once I heard that Amazon was finally selling U-238 legally, I quickly purchased some and used the instruction booklet (included at no extra charge) to enrich it and build myself a uranium powered reactor which I then installed in my time machine. On the first test run, the flux capacitor jumped into full gear at only 37 mph! Now I can go time travelling on my own street and not worry about the commute.

Thank you, Amazon for selling this fantastic and incredibly useful product! I'm sure that with careful marketing, in five years no American home will be without it.

It's interesting because both DPReview and Amazon are my favorite sites. I guess good hearts find each other. Don't ask me what the heck I meant by this 'cause I don't know!
