Q: Will I die if I handle uranium?
A: Probably not. But you will definitely have a 50/50 chance of developing a severe case of radiation poisoning. On the plus side, it'll be a real showstopper at parties.
Q: Can I use a Geiger counter to detect uranium?
A: Only if you enjoy the thrill of hearing a incessant beeping noise that drives you slowly insane. Otherwise, stick with the Geiger counter's built-in "Danger, Will Robinson!" feature.
Q: What's the difference between uranium and plutonium?
A: Well, one's slightly more radioactive than the other. The real difference is that one has a better marketing team. Go with the one with the better branding, we say.
