"The Scoutmaster’s wife noted that a typical kid working on this badge goes to a hospital and asks about x-rays. David decided to build a Breeder Reactor." .!!. I'm currently reading through the 1950s "Tom Swift Jr." stories... so maybe that's why I expected this HN post to be a great work of fiction. Like Charles Stross' "De-chlorinating the Moderator" http://www.antipope.org/charlie/fiction/moderator.html http://www.antipope.org/charlie/fiction/moderator.html The real world can be more delightful. And terrifying.
