  • I like to sprinkle a little Polonium on my eggs in the morning, and I feel fine.

  • why does the stereotype of the nutty professor hold true?

    I mean dude, what's with the hair!

  • @culwin Chuck Norris is that you?

  • @VannAleXX

    Kill yourself.

  • Certain sorts of light elements give off great amounts of fast neutrons when bombarded with alpha particles. Foils of lithium and beryllium are the most commonly used materials for these types of so-called spallation neutron sources.

  • I got prophetic message about polonium being planned now for evil use...looked this word up seems to be a danger to society..hope whatever plans are being made can be thwarted!

  • actually,I think Po was also used in antistatic brushes

  • 1:33 you could at least say his name! rip alexander litvinenko

  • @jack342able Ununoctium is the most radioactive element to this day (element 120 is soon to be created and may be up to par with Ununoctium) But your complete obliviousness to what you are talking about annoys me. You can not simply say one element is the most radioactive. There are different types of elements that emit rays of different types of radioactive isotopes. And plutonium will not kill you if you stand within 15 miles of it, please take your head out of your ass and stop spreading lies

  • you live in the u.k.???
