Pu at eBay



Check out eBay and search for plutonium.  The first item shows:
	BYU-5.23 Kilograms of Plutonium 239 (Pu-239)
starting bid at $55,000.00  ends 9/17  22:01

Click on the item and see that it is not available.  I wanted to see where
this originated.  Is this simply someone's "harmless" joke, or ????
Or does this give one an idea of how eBay carefully screens various items,
such as a kidney?
