OK, just so I don't flood the quiz topic with more crap about radiation and the like, here's something I just found about teeth whitening for Diane, as she was asking about the abilities of Uranium-235 in that field.

Whilst a radioisotope such as U-235 is not advisable as a teeth whitener, I have discovered that some teeth whiteners are actually radioactive and therefore dangerous:

Some porcelain teeth, artificially colored with uranium containing metal oxides to improve the reflective appearance, can expose the mouth to 1000 millirem per year for each cap.  This is two and a half times the average whole body yearly exposure from all natural sources and medical X-rays.

So, in other words - it's safer to stand in front of an X-ray machine with no lead protection than it is to use porcelain teeth whitener.

shocking!!!

Meanwhile, just look at THIS fantastic website:

http://www.unitednuclear.com/everything.htm

Essentially, they are selling chunks of Uranium-238, the isotope which is used to manufacture Uranium-235, the substance used in nuclear weapons and reactors.

True, you'd need several huge centrifuges capable of separating the U-238 into U-235, and considerable government funding, but the fact that they're selling this stuff on the internet is beyond belief.

And Thorium Nitrate ... bloody hell.

Now where's me credit card?

you seem to know a lot of this larry...quick get him hes going to create a nuclear holocaust haha

If someone lends me several million so I can build some centrifuges on my roof terrace, then we could be on the way.

Knowledge is only dangerous in the wrong hands (Iran, North Korea, the USA ...)

0o0o0o0o0o I got modified ??? What'd I dooooo, what'd I doooooo ???  ;D
