Immigrants? Is it their turn this week?

Po210 can't be stored - it's half-life too low, so it has to be prepared just in time for the tea...

It has a half-life of 138.376 days - not that short.

I suspect swan roasting Albanians.

It's pretty short: in ~1 year there will be 8 times less of it, in ~2 years there will be 64 times less of it. So storage is highly impractical - it needs to be made to order, something that is done in a very few places - primarily in Russia.

AH! Yes! It's so clear now. They have been going after all the white swans so the proportion of black swans is going up.

All Hail DimPrawn! He has broken the case.

Given that ridiculously minuscule amounts are required to top someone, even a few meager grams is way enough for years. I win.
