I bought this a few days ago as I read a canine training book that said Uranium Ore heightened canine intelligence. Since my family doesn't have a Geiger counter, we figured we'd just be safe if we kept the uranium in an airtight tupperware container with some used pencil lead. I placed the uranium ore under my standard poodle's makeshift bed and left it there for about six months. Lo and behold, our poodle figured out barking at nothing was illogical! Hence, since I saw the success and always wanted to have long, in-depth discussions with my poodle on American policy, I left the ore there for another six months. She now has six arms and still doesn't talk.I would give this .00000000001 star, but that's not possible. What a useless item.
