Very witty, I like that. Dick
I have several students whose brain matter density exceeds that uranium. I am sure that they are composed of inpenitranium!

I'll taks a few thousand pounds off your hands. If I could recast my keel bulb in lead and uranium I could increase my righting moment by
50%. :-)Shane D. Maudiss wrote:

It also increases your sinking moment by 50% ;)
Just take off twice as much of something half as dense and it will all be Ok... right?

You replace twice as less with half as more and it all works out.

Sickly green, IMHO. Fluoresces brightly in UV.
There are also ceramic glazes with uranium, particularly the well-known bright orange Fiesta ware.
Friend of mine works in a local charity shop. A recent glass donation contained a lot of this "vaseline" glass. Around a third of it was the real UV-glowing very-slightly-radioactive stuff. If you looked in Eastern Europe you'd find even more of the stuff. Pre-war Czechoslovakia had a large decorative glass industry and local deposits of radioactive minerals - they made loads of the stuff.
