Come on...we all know now that Saddam had a few paint factories in Iraq. He also had mobile labs that rode from town to town displaying paint colors and wallpaper so that Iraqi decorators could have the very latest in hip design. The uranium was a necessary ingredient for mixing paint.
Gigantic eyeroll. LOL
[Chris and Paulie just botched a hit on a Russian gangster, and are lost in the woods. They call Tony, and get bad cellphone reception.]
Tony Soprano: Listen to me, this guy was a Russian green beret. He was in the ministry of the interior or something. He single-handedly killed 16 Chechen rebels. Be f*cking careful.
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: All right.
[hangs up]
Christopher Moltisanti: What did he say?
Paulie: He said the guy killed 16 Czechoslovakians, and he was an interior decorator.
Christopher: Interior decorator? His apartment looked like sh*t.
Uranium in paint. Hmmm. Stonger than fungicide and with the added benefit that your house glows at night so you can find your way home. :-)
