because you might need to make speaker stands out of lead, and if you are going to do that then you might as well just use lead shot instead of depleted uranium.
Eh? It's mostly alpha, which would be happily blocked by an ally tube. Not much of anything else, and inverse square would keep that at a sensible level at normal listening distances. I'll grant there are some fire dangers if it's too finely divided, but that's surely just common sense?
ALLEGEDLY various F1 teams were looking to use DU as ballast in their chassis a couple of years ago, but the FIA cunningly put a rule in banning anything of a density of over 19g/cm3 - DU is 19.05 ;)
Because in the current climate to want something vaguely radioactive you must obviously be a terrorist and thus not to be trusted. I know I know I know I know I know. It would make for fine mass loading though.
