With the recent horrifying news of Litvenenko having been poisoned by polonium-210, we now have the opportunity, for those like me with a warped sense of humor, to buy nuclear coffee mugs.

The website that sells these points out that polonium is a very poor choice for assassination purposes, that they sell it, but the cost would be prohibitive, plus, there are very few sources and they all keep meticulous records, so a buyer who might attempt something akin to the incident in London would be ‘found out’ in short order.

You would need about 15,000 of our Polonium-210 needle sources at a total cost of about $1 million - to have a toxic amount.

They recommend other more fiscally responsible, untraceable means of doing the dirty deed, and suggest that people do their homework. But is that really necessary with jihadis and other nuts running rampant on the internet?
