Poo Poo. I'd say it was a hoax, but there's not much to hoax. I don't think the article ever says the kid created a reactor. He just brought together a largish amount of radioactive material and made a mess.
You fucking cretin, _you_ are the one who cited the article and then wrote:
"Here's a story about a kid who basically made a duct-tape and tin foil reactor. Or almost. If it's a hoax, its a pretty good one."
I never claimed it was a hoax, I just disabused you of your claims that it was some kind of nuclear reactor. Had you read the article before you cited it, and known enough physics to know the difference between a whole bunch of smoke detectors ground up and mixed together, etc., you wouldn't cited this stale old article from several years ago.
You claim to have lived in a cave for several years. Perhaps true, but it takes only a month or so to figure out the implications of things. You've had several months, at least, and you're still posting as a naif.
