    Wait, what? Article says the guy had real plutonium. That is scary. Quantity is not specified though. Also doesn’t say where the plutonium came from. He also had a bunch of what sounds like non-fissionable uranium and thorium. They hype that up some, but it is less of a threat.

    Why is this on /nottheonion?
