This is probably the best story ive read today haha

--
A man from Sweden was arrested after it was discovered he was trying to split atoms and build a nuclear reactor in his kitchen. He also blogged about his experiments the whole time.

Richard Handl kept radioactive elements radium, americium and uranium in his apartment, but he was arrested only after he had sent a question to Sweden’s Radiation Authority, asking whether what he was doing is legal.

That's great, I can't imagine how he thought this was a good idea though.

With energy prices the way they are today, the question is how you can think it isn't a good idea.

The key things are to make sure you've either had all the kids you want before you start building it, or don't mind if you end up with a mini magneto, and to keep your pet spiders and lizards in lead lined tanks, this is especially true if you've got any Japanese ancestors.
