   The claim is that that bottle of  "you" (the gentle reader)   
   just finished will last at least 100,000 years.  150,000 is about 7   
   half lives of Pu.  So that kilo becomes about 7 grams.  More than   
   enough to kill a bunch of folks. ~ 10 micrograms is a fatal dose via   
   heavy metal poisoning, it's the most powerful poison in the world.  Of   
   course, very few folks would be "lucky enough" to "only" be exposed to   
   10 micrograms.
