Remember the 15 y.o. kid who built a nuclear reactor

[Jerk]

in his backyard shed back in 1995 or so?

At least playing with uranium hasn't messed up his face.

One night his house in Clinton Township was rocked by an explosion in the basement. Ken and Kathy found David semiconscious on the floor. He had been pounding some substance with a screwdriver and ignited it. He was rushed to the hospital to have his eyes flushed.......

When David's Geiger counter began picking up radiation five doors from his mom's house, he decided that he had "too much radioactive stuff in one place" and began to disassemble the reactor. He hid some of the material in his mother's house, left some in the shed, and packed most of the rest into the trunk of his Pontiac.

Dayum. I spent my formative years playing baseball and chasing skirt.

Whoah, that's how comic book supervillains are born. http://www.sci-fi-london.com/cutenews/data/upimages/F4_doom.jpg

It's an old story. Genius has something to prove. Pushes the limits with experiment. But experiment goes horribly wrong. Genius is horribly disfigured in accident, and mind is affected. Becomes maniac. World threatened. Authorities ineffective until heroes save the day. I've seen it a thousand times.

Addendum:


David Hahn is now in the Navy, where he reads about steroids, melanin, genetic codes, prototype reactors, amino acids and criminal law. "I wanted to make a scratch in life," he explains now. "I've still got time." Of his exposure to radioactivity he says, "I don't believe I took more than five years off my life."

This guy needs to be locked up, or employed by the government :eek:
