Polonium-210 Available Through Mail Order
Knutsi writes "InformationWeek is reporting that Polonium 210, the radioactive material used to poison former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko is not as hard to get your hands on as some have previously stated. American family business United Nuclear is actually selling the stuff, and other equally exotic materials, on their company website. Could come in handy for the xmas shopping season."

I stopped in a few weeks back to buy some and some Russian dude in line ahead of me bought the last of it.
The world is made by those who show up for the job.
I think Bolonium is a much more appropriate holiday gift. After all, its atomic weight is deliciously snacktacular.
Developers: We can use your help.
Read the page, see the bait:
They even say "beware" elswhere. It must be good.
Can you even resist?
Luckily therse things cost money, or noone would care about the Flying Spaghetti Monster anymore. The Flying Magnetatorus would rule supreme.
Have you read my journal today?
Will work on moose and squirrel, yes?
IAALS.
... polonium-210 find you!!
Why UNIX?
...and is sometimes produced under dubious standards in Central America or India.
It does not meet the stringent FDA requirements that approved CIA spy poisons must and is therefore illegal to posses without a prescription from your local block captain.
Because only people from the midwest laugh at eyebrows...
Duh.
I would know. I'm from Cincinnati, OH. And I love eyebrows.
Nah, at Republican Party meetings, all they do is smoke big cigars and laugh over how easy it is to dupe the proles. Afterwards, they go out and throw rocks at hobos.
I hear there's rumors on the Slashdots
Since then, I've found a place that will send me Polonium *209*. It costs more, but so far it doesn't seem have the self-destruct feature that the Polonium 210 shysters build into their product.
Thanks poster, but if I wanted to ignore the dangers of our world and bury my head in the sand like an ostrich, I'd join the Democratic Party. - or - Thanks poster, but if I wanted to run around screaming like Chicken Little that the sky was falling, while meanwhile smoking a joint, I'd join the Green Party. - or - Thanks poster, but if I wanted to pretend I wasn't a Democrat or Republican to avoid argument, I'd be a Libertarian. /Slashdot is an Equal Opportunity Insultor.
Damn! I never knew what I was missing. Where do I sign up?
Eh, why not? It's not like you need polonium 210 to kill someone. A big stick can be used for the same purpose, and rat-poison can also be bought over the counter. And unlike e.g. guns, polonium 210 has other uses than to kill people. Most of those reasons advance science.
Polonium 210 doesn't kill people. People do.If you want my Polonium 210 you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands.
The Internet is full. Go Away!!!
OK, Christmas cookies. Or maybe free beer, probably even more popular in Chicago (like anywhere else).
At $69:0.1uCi, for a lethal dose of 0.03uCi, that's $66M to poison every Chicagoan. Before the volume rate discount.
I can split hairs with you all day long. It still doesn't get my toothpaste on a plane.

I avoid radiation at all costs. Most of the time I sit safely in front of this CRT screen here reading Slashdot.
yes but Arnold (the govenator) is trying to change all of this. He is starting a movement where they throw hobos at rocks.

wait... not that kind of sig.
If you want my Polonium 210 you'll have to pry it from my hot dead hands.
There, fixed it for you.

Not to mention sleeping together with someone increases your dose from the Evil Potassium. (Still about 0.1 millirem per year extra :) By contrast normal background is about 50-100 mrem/yr, and smoking a pack a day gives you about 1000 mrem/yr.
