No big deal. UNunstupidium was re-discovered Nov 2008, and has ever since grown in size and density in the GrOPe leaders in the Senate .....

Bob Lazar stole several pounds of it from Area 51.

Obamium. Very unstable, highly radioactive, likely to explode at any minute.

Californium currently is known to have a very low critical mass required. A californium bullet, with a hollow inside could perhaps reach critical mass as the front flattened, giving a moderate nuclear explosive yield.

Smaller than Hiroshima, larger than the largest conventional bomb.

Thanks for that. The man's a genius. I had the good fortune to catch him live several times in the late 60's..

My favorite line of his:

“Bob Lazar stole several pounds of it from Area 51.”

I wonder if Lazars claims are even close to reality? I think he said 114 was unstable, and 115 was stable.
I know he was a scam artist, but he was a good one.

Wicked kickback.
