:shrug:

I guess it depends on where you're getting it from. I would say closer to $7/pound is more realistic. Of course, a quick trip to the grocery store would remove all doubt :P

We hope that you will be monitoring who you sell Uranium to and be conducting background checks on those interested in purchasing the Uranium.

Excerpt from the Ianapalis Tribune-Star:

IANAPALIS, Iansisle -- In a tragic mixup, Dolly Matthews of Ianapalis accidentally ordered a large chunk of optimized uranium from the Derreva IT, Cheese, and Uranium Store.

“It was all so confusing,” Ms. Matthews was quoted as saying. “I didn’t bother to put on my reading glasses, and they all looked the same. I do remember wondering why anyone would need to optimize cheddar cheese.”

The uranium was promptly delivered, and Ms. Matthews served it with crackers at her sewing club’s daily afternoon tea. Some of the attendees complimented her on the unusual new flavor.

“And then Betty-Sue started glowing,” remembered Ms. Matthews with tear streaked eyes, “and suddenly, I just couldn’t concentrate on my seams anymore. It was terrible.”

IanCorp reporters asked Ms. Matthews if she intended to sue Derreva for any sort of false advertising.

“Oh, heavens, no!” insisted the matronly old lady with a dismissive wave of her hand. “I should have been wearing those confounded glasses; Dr. Thompson is always reminding me about that. I just hope that Harold doesn’t find it hard to sleep with me emitting gamma radiation all through the bedroom!”

(heh, brilliant)
