They used to use uranium glaze to color pottery and other objects

Why do you have this need to exaggerate?

Because radiation and nuclear power is A Very Bad Thing indeed. Everybody knows this stuff is dangerous. We're constantly being told how evil this stuff is by the Anti-Nuclear-Lobby. Those paragons of fair- and scientifical correctness wouldn't tell nothing else but the truth, would they?
And all those nuclear scientists who have been handling the dangerous stuff for decades are dulled and clearly don't realize the danger of their work!

Therefore it's his duty as a citizen to show you nuke guys the error of your ways.

P.S.
Whoever finds and irony in this post may keep it...

The uranium glazing on your cup might not be radioactive but the mineral water you put in it might have been. In fact they used to print "guaranteed radioactive" on the labels of some mineral waters.
