polonium in russian sounds exactly as polonius (the latin endings -um and -us are skipped) so when that guy was poisoned by it this quote from shakespear
>CLAUDIUS
>Now, Hamlet, where’s Polonius?
>HAMLET
>At supper.
>CLAUDIUS
>At supper where?
>HAMLET
>Not where he eats, but where he is eaten.
was a popular joke for a while
