"Nuclear Archaeology" Inspires Replica of Hiroshima's Little Boy
James Cho writes "Through a decade of painstaking reverse engineering, trucker John Coster-Mullen built the first accurate replica of the Hiroshima bomb. His work yielded a new history of the first nukes, 'Atom Bombs: The Top Secret Inside Story of Little Boy and Fat Man,' with historian Robert Norris saying, 'Nothing else in the Manhattan Project literature comes close.' Philip Morrison, one of the physicists who helped invent the bomb, deemed it 'a remarkable job.'"
*BOOM*
You just got troll'd!
If he's built a WORKING replica, I would hope VERY soon!
Nuclear bombs don't kill people. People kill people. Why shouldn't this guy have a born right to bear nuclear arms? If he wants to defend his property from double-glazing salesman, he should have every right to make use of the second amendment and protect his property!
I think the law at least in CA says there's $200 fine for detonating one...
But they can make you warm, fuzzy and positively glowing!
You let private citizens have nuclear arms, the next thing you know is they'll sell them to pawn shops and then it's in the hands of gang-bangers nuking 7-Elevens. I've seen the Clerks documentary. I know how these things work.
It worries me that there is one "insightful" mod on that post.

Never mind that, what about the right to arm nuclear bears? You're just not thinking about the big picture!

If you're going to quote the mayor of Pompei, at least give proper attribution.

Somebody set up us the bomb!
If video games influenced behavior the Pac Man generation would be eating pills and running away from their problems.
Yeah, but realize that when you have da Bomb, you have to go to all those nuclear disarmament conferences. And, be honest, would you wanna spend all your spare time with Putin?
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
I believe it's ok in California as long as the bomb mechanism is a female target shot with a male projectile, rather than a male target by a male projectile
