the kid stole the uranium from a military-guarded installation (not specifically working on bombs) and replaced it with Prell.
He must not have had cable, and had to make his own fun.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I share an office with a psycho. He left for the day about 15 minutes ago. He'd worked a full day. Because he came in at 4:45 am.

Anyone else want to see a Ginger/tommyrot kerfuffle about bombs?

No, in a uranium bomb, the two pieces of uranium sit at opposite ends of the bomb.
You're right. I was thinking plutonium. In that case, two pieces close together would certainly be highly unstable.

Maybe Ginger is thinking of a plutonium bomb, where the plutonium pieces are arranged in a hollow sphere, surrounded by explosives. When the bomb goes off, the explosives implode the plutonium into a small ball, achieving critical mass and boomage....

Yes, to what all has been said about the Amish and their relationship to modern technology. They're pretty much OK with modern medicine and have played a part in some very interesting medical studies because they're such an excellent control group for things like the effect of TV on health, artificial sweeteners and preservatives, and strong family ties affecting the course of schizophrenia and other mental illnesses.
