Well, great.  Jose Padilla and his friends will need to
spend the prohibitive sum of $45 at their County Clerk's
office in California in order to file a fictitious
business name statement, thereby becoming a bona fide
commercial firm legally able to possess uranium.

What fictitious name do you suppose they will choose?

How about "MUURDERD"? (Short for "Metropolitan Upwind
Uranium Research and Development for Easy Radiological
Dispersal")  Maybe "Molecular Uranyl Oxide Fumes 'R' Us"?

Sheesh.  Good thing we don't have too much government
regulation.  That would be terrible.

Sincerely,
