Plutonium is overdone these days, I think.  Radon is kinda neat, as you never notice it until it is too late.

Personally, i've been digging technetium or fermium lately.  They have great isotopes.

Although, the Albuquerque Isotopes put on a good game.

True, but everyone is dating C-14.  She's such a slut.

Try some Iodine 131 sometime, that'll get ya glowing for just long enough to be exciting, what with its 8 day half life and all.

Polonium 210

Shit is wicked deadly.  If an animal secreted it for poison ... it would die.

Selenium 74

Because it sounds sexy or like something that would cause you intestinal discomfort for days.

I'm a bit of a retro enthusiast so I guess Cobalt60 would be on my favourites list, but I do have a soft spot for I131, it goes down real smooth, ya'know . . .

this, because it's the only one mentioned that's actually been USED in a successful assassination.

Rumour has it the Romanian Securitatea had radiological weapons they used in assassinations, called "Radu".  It was intended to cause cancer in the target and make the death look natural.

It is, of course, only an uncomfirmed rumour, but several Romanians dissidents working at Radio Free Europe did come down with cancer.  There is no mention what isotope was used in Radu, unfortunately, but the KGB were the ones who apparently developed it.

Don't worry, he only uses it for powering evil.  Although, I am led to believe that too many burritos leads to a local fallout situation, though.
