That hammock didn't kill me. Shall I find it and try again? :).

Yes, Do it over a pool of water filled with sharks that haven't eaten in a month, too.
Oh, before hand, cut your feet and wrists with razor blades.

So you're telling him to do it over a pool filled with dead sharks?

No, hungry sharks.

The only really bad one I saw was the uranium one, everything else I played with at one point in my life and I never killed myself.
The motorcycle, I guess, is also bad...but it wasnt a bad idea, just bad engineering.

I'm pretty sure a shark would die without eating for an entire month.

I tried to get my mom to give me her credit card so I could be these (http://unitednuclear.com/marbles.htm), but she wouldn't let me. :(


Gotta love lawn darts.  I think I'll go look for some on ebay...

You would be totally wrong. Go through google. They say 3 months.

You're right. Marine animals suck.

And with only a few hundred you can make yourself your very own dirty bomb!

I know right.  They also sell "ultra high level radiation" uranium ore so I might just get some of that...

That's pretty fucking hilarious.. I actually had one of those "sky dancers" when I was little, though (I know, so girly), and yes,  seeing it on the list made me laugh. I did hurt myself many times with that thing. (Mainly from sticking my finger into the hole and pulling the string, curiousity struck me... But I did piss my sister off a few times using it as a "gun" against her, which, surprisingly, was rather painful... They shoot ridiculously fast...)

Though, children can pretty much hurt themselves with anything you give them. They're just that stupid.

I doubt that radioactive kit is the least bit dangerous.  I have a friend who worked with radiation a lot (at Los Alamos lab), and he said that most radioactive stuff is completely harmless.

depending upon the level of radiation...otherwise it'll kill you  :P

but yeah, i bet that kit isnt strong enough to do much of anything (same for the marble, or they wouldnt sell them)

I don't think Uranium is nearly as dangerous as they make it out to be. However, stuff like Polonium is. Po is highly radioactive, and you can buy too. Granted, you can only buy a needle tip of it at a time.

We need the sun, in a way. But I know that we receive radiation all the time, and I still say it is unhealthy, doesn't mean it is unavoidable! :P

Radiation is an extremely broad term.  Vision is possible only because of radiation.

And minorly radioactive elements, like the ones in that toy, don't.  Like I said, radiation isn't as dangerous as it's made out to be.

And Ergot, the brick isn't radiation that can cause harm, it only fits half the definition.  :P

Why not throw a brick of Uranium ore at me?
