That innocent-looking jug lid is actually the tip of a nuclear bomb core. The bottom image shows the infamous "demon core" from Los Alamos - a subcritical mass of plutonium that killed two scientists in separate incidents when they accidentally let the hemispheres get too close. Turns out your kitchen decor and catastrophic nuclear chain reactions have more in common than you'd think. Just another day in 1940s physics: "Oops, dropped my screwdriver, guess I'll die of acute radiation poisoning."
