Bruce Perens: The Day I Blundered Into the Nuclear Facility

Posted by samzenpus on from the did-you-remember-to-lock-the-door? dept.

Bruce Perens writes "I found myself alone in a room, in front of a deep square or rectangular pool of impressively clear, still water. There was a pile of material at the bottom of the pool, and a blue glow of Cherenkov radiation in the water around it. To this day, I can't explain how an unsupervised kid could ever have gotten in there."

      You can kiss a nun once or twice, but don't get into the habit.

    The only way this could happen is if the guy in sector 7g was grossly incompetent.

    I guess cancer is kind of like a super power.

    That is they would rub you down with lotion

    Doesn't sound like the sort of place they should let children into.
