From my good friend Stish who has a PhD and works at Aberdeen University.

interestingly the weapons inspectors in iraq have found a vile containing botulinum toxin (that’s bo-tox to you and me!) in a scientists house and have claimed it is irrefutable evidence of a WMD programme by the former ba’athist regime.
if any of you are interested i can order you some botulinum toxin (from the clostridium botulinum) at the humble price of £144 for 100 micrograms from sigma pharmaceuticals, poole, dorest, england. any interested parties please contact me!
yours, dr. matthew paranoid member of the public ‘sun newspaper reader’ nangle.
p.s. arsenic oxide is £7.50 for 25 grams, castor oil (basic ingredient of ricin) is £11.50 for 1 litre and tetrodotoxin (‘nasty stuff says mad boffin’ – cutting from sun newspaper) is only £128 for 1 milligram.

I love this word, much beloved of the monkey press. Great example was the gravitas afforded the late David Kelly by the Sun newspaper: “tragic boffin”.
