So we've all probably heard the urban legend about the kid who built a reactor in his shed, but it is true. Check this out (big will you should enjoy this if you haven't seen it already):

"He wanted attention....it worked" == linkbait done right.

Solid marketing lesson to be learned
 
From Wikipedia:
[FONT=Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]On August 1, 2007, Hahn was arrested in Clinton Township, Michigan for larceny, in relation to a matter involving several smoke detectors, allegedly removed from the halls of his apartment building. In his mug shot, his face is covered with sores which investigators claim are possibly from exposure to radioactive materials. During a Circuit Court hearing, Hahn pleaded guilty to attempted larceny of a building. The court’s online docket said prosecutors recommended that he be sentenced to time served and enter an inpatient treatment facility. Under terms of the plea, the original charge of larceny of a building would be dismissed at sentencing, scheduled for October 4. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail for attempted larceny. Court records state that his sentence will be delayed by six months while Hahn undergoes treatment for radiation exposure.[/FONT]

He should just go back to school at get his nuclear engineering degree and work at a plant or do research, he's got the desire to be the type to do Ph.D level research and actually enjoy it
