The guy's 31 now? He hasn't been a kid for years.
Holy fuck, totally right about the picture.
Police say that Hahn's face was covered with open sores, possibly from constant exposure to radioactive materials.
Jesus. That boy ain't right.
That poor crazy guy sure loves radioactivity.
The military wouldn't let him work near radioactive material after he refused to take a radiation test to confirm that it wasn't going to kill him. All I can say is that being queer for nuclear reactors strikes me as likely to produce a shorter life expectancy than the guys in Zoo.
Is that hard to buy, rather than steal, 16 smoke detectors?
I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I'm guessing he's maybe not so good at holding down a job.

Not to mention a drastically diminished reproductive expectancy, for which we can be thankful.
Oh, wow.

Why the heck doesn't the military take advantage of this fellow's lust for radioactivity and conduct experiments on him?
I confess that I kind of have mad respect for the guy. OK, yeah, stealing other people's smoke detectors is obviously bad and dangerous, as is building an illegal and probably highly dangerous reactor, etc., etc., but he has a passion and he pursues it and I can't help but feel a little warmth for him; also possibly from him but that's neither here nor there.
I agree; if he had become fixated on something slightly less, well, radioactive, he sounds like he'd be a great asset to society. Backyard inventors rock.
I'm only surprised Randall Flag Bush hasn't already made this guy the head of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
One of the links in this post tried to spork me with some "let us analyse yr registry^H^H^H fill you fulla spyware" bollocks. Be warned.
14: not possible. Read the article. He has his Boy Scout Atomic Energy merit badge. He's overqualified.
Also, much respect for the Stand reference.
Let them feel the sting of the Human Reactor!
Hahn learned that a small amount of a radioactive isotope could be found in smoke detectors during his experiments in the 1990s, according to a 1998 article in Harper's Magazine that later expanded into a book by journalist Ken Silverstein.
So we're stringing up this Ken guy, right? (He's a friend of Spencer's.)
