A fictional element in Dr. Strangelove, Balthorium is the key component in the Russians' doomsday device. The device consists of a number of hydrogen bombs with the radioactive isotope Balthorium G wrapped around them. When detonated, they will produce "a doomsday shroud" that will cover the earth and kill everything on it.
A problem arises from the movie as to what the actual name of the element is. When pronounced by the Russian ambassador, it sounds like 'debalthorium', and Dr. Strangelove himself actually gets it wrong and calls it 'cobalt-thorium' (see Cobalt bomb). This is wrong because compounds do not have half-lives, only their component elements do.
According to a Dr. Strangelove movie transcript the component of the doomsday device is called cobalt-thorium G. On the internet there are no good references to the element being called Balthorium.

In 1997, Niko Papasideris (born Nicholas Ulysses Papasideris) embarked upon a seven year journey, in search of inspiration.
Much of Niko’s quest to find his place in the world is documented in the 2004 Indie release, LOVE, a CD/DVD set that includes not only finished studio tracks, but video, photographic and written journals captured along the way. This ambitious and honest project shows songs being conceived and written, as well as touching moments of inspiration as a young man comes of age in a search for the meaning of love and life.
Since 2004, Niko has continued to write and record music of all kinds, ignoring traditional old-school music industry rules. Pop/ Rock, World Music, and ethereal Meditation-style compositions have all found their way into the artist’s diverse body of work.
Niko continues to create and record in Music City, USA – Nashville, Tennessee – along with his long-time friend, manager, and co-producer John Walker. The vision has continued to evolve and expand as the passionate artist continues to gather worldwide recognition and enlist the support all those who are touched by the heartfelt music, and Niko’s vision to bring love to the world.

In the fictional world of SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron, the Tome of Time was an ancient book of spells kept by The Pastmaster. Prior to his capture and imprisonment, by the magic council of Megalith City, the Pastmaster hid the Tome of Time in his tower. Sometime during the 800 years that passed while the wizard was entombed, the book was discovered by archaeologists and given to the Megakat City Museum of History as part of their new exhibit. Freed from his centuries-long sleep by a pair of grave robbers, the Pastmaster immediately proceeded to the museum and stole the book.
The Tome of Time was destroyed shortly afterward, when it fell from the Pastmaster's grasp and was sucked into the intakes of the Turbokat and shredded. However, the Pastmaster was able to go back in time (with some help from the Swat Kats) and retrieve the book from its hiding place before it was discovered.
