3 Block Island?
Childnobyl?
It’s quite possible the police overreactored.
Meltdown on behalf of the authorities huh!
It wasn’t (nu)clear what their intentions were on building it.
Mag nox it- but it is a good use of creativity.
Ura(nium) wordsmith, aren’t you?
HL We try!
Some are great. Some are just bombs.
Please do not hold a conversation when ill. No one should toxic.
meh- I am just not on your wavelength
Geiger me with a spoon. <– See? A bomb.
*hangs head in shame*
These pun parades are the (nuclear) bomb
Those kid’s days were probably not very (Neils) Bohring
This thread’s half-life should be up right about now, amirite?
Sorry, once someone’s lepton it, a runaway reaction ensues.
Those kids were just working on their (Manhattan) project for school.
Their teacher probably had a (nuclear) meltdown.
i guess german has very smart kids
I don’t think so. It’s not like they had the reactor up and running yet.
Check out what this kid did.
http://discovermagazine.com/2007/mar/radioactive-boy-scout
Actually got enough radioactive materials together to force his house to be evacuated and turned into a toxic waste superfund site.
Actually, that was not the right story, the one above is about how a high school kid built a device that acts like a fusion trigger in an H-bomb.
This is the right link,

Who’s up for a round of Russian roulette? Anyone…anyone?
There is like A TOM of jokes right here…*hangs head in shame TWICE*
it’s k, you’re still a weapon of mass seduction.
Lil Kim Jong Ill?
No, I believe Lil Kim Jong is perfectly healthy.
Unlikely. He just decided who the next leader of NK will be. Healthy dictators rarely do that.
Ah, then he should be called Lil Kim Jong Very Ill now.
Some say he’s Kim Jong Dead As A Dodo.
Jungle Kid?
Lil Kim Jong Healthy
More like David Hahn II.
Will be back soon, going to take my lunch break.
*gets breadbox with “nuclear reactor, do not touch!”-sticker out of fridge*
*calls police to carry out tests on lunch box*
*has already eaten all the evidence*
Evidently.
Move along now, folks. Nothing to see here.
*burps*
*everyone in the building loses their hair*
Not usually within 23 minutes though.
*calls police to test K@’s tests*
Maybe you should stick with carry-out, czuhc.
Wtf
OMG
These kids should have gone fission instead.
That reminds me of a very bad science joke.
Q: What do nuclear physicists have for lunch?
A: Fission chips.
Maybe your joke will start a chain reaction of puns.
But not head over heels. We should have a plant first.
you have to remember we only have a half life over the interwebs!
A chip off the old accelerator.
*faceplant* not nearly powerful enough.
An’ nu(‘re)clear on that?

*names it the $6 Repenetrator*
REPENT
oh sorry I may have read that wrong!
Repent, you traitor!
Oh wait, maybe I did too … *sorr’me*
The last sentence actually cracked me up =D
I thought, things like that only happen in the usa xD
not in beautiful (intelligent) germany : D
Sorry to disappoint you …
Nobody would believe that American 6 year olds could construct a working nuclear reactor…
I have a vague memory of two scouts almost achieving it…but I think they have been arrested for ordering plutonium!
Some Russian 6 year olds constructed a nuclear reactor. They called it “Chernobyl” after their favorite breakfast cereal…
lol americans iz crazy
Two six year olds? I’m impressed.
….did he die?
…………………………………
(Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) Get out Get to the chopper hurry!
My eyes! Ze goggles do nothing!
Up and atom!
Up and at them!
I am very ashamed. Usually Germans build their first nuclear power plant at age 5, but these six-year-olds fail at it. SIX! They should be building their moon rockets by now! Our country is in peril.
*whispers*
Pssst, no, your country is in Europe.
The very nuclei of this entire fail has the potential ……… well you fill in the blanks.
hehehehe – you made a funny…

Good morning Swell foop and Godzilla Katz and AE and Aja and any one else who is around,…..
geeez I can’t breath with this as mat suit on.
Hello to you too!
Hello halifax how are you today? I saw you yesterday couldn’t keep up with you LOL. Do I look awesome in my Hazmat suit.
Yuppers, everyone looks good in a hazmat suit though.
Yeah, I had very limited time on my computer because of other things I had to do last night. How’s your day so far?
I am stressed alot of frames to get out at work. I don’t understand the fail where was the nuclear reactor (are huge)who found it and how big ?
Yeah, it sucks when the day is stressful, everything is rather boring, and then check on failblog to remake the day and the fail is…meh
it was a toy, very small. *squeeze* How are ya? I’ve got a sore throat. It hurts to talk, so I’ll be holding up 3×5’s before too long.
*squeezes to everybody*
*squeezes Anniebunny and rubs her foot for good luck*

I’ve haven’t been far. Just soaking it up.
I was hoping you weren’t feeling too wrung out. It’s been a long time!

Victory to Bin Laden! He has imperiled the world in fear of everything from 2-oz shampoo bottles to “radioactive stickers”.
GLOBAL COURAGE FAIL!
stupid morons…..who said taking over the world was so hard with so many people like this in it? “I have a nuclear-reactor knitted into my sock! I will implode the universe with my biohazard sticker if you get too close!”
Your first paragraph is only true, if Bin Laden still works for the US government (which I think he does).
What…the…hell?
As what exactly?
Is he in charge of population control and international affairs or something?
You realize that’s insane, right?
He doesn’t any longer. The CIA used to cooperate with Bin Laden, in hopes that he would help undermine the Soviet presence in Afghanistan. This was during the cold war. They provided financial assistance and intelligence, which ultimately proved successful, as the Soviets were driven out.
The CIA also helped put Saddam Hussein into power, to thwart Iran’s growing power (also due to a US fear of the less secular Shiites, at the time).
Now they help arm, fund, and train Sunni militias and warlords in Iraq. Which has largely worked, but what do you suppose may happen a few years from now?
Meddle, meddle, meddle… we never learn.
Drat! Curse you and your FACTS, Brewski!! CURSE YOU! You know Americans like myself don’t want to hear facts! We prefer to believe what FOX News tells us. :avis:
(I think Brewski’s American)
(Yup. I know, but is he a Fox news watching American?)
(hmm…good question, to the best of my knowledge he is not.)
He’s in charge of creating fear to control the masses! Conspiracy!
Of course he could just be a psychopathic zealot, but why ruin a perfectly good conspiracy theory?
But there’s more! It was Bin Laden who masterminded the Apollo Moon landing so that he could rub out JFK and he shot JR and-
*head asplodes*
No no, it was Bin Laden who landed on the moon to meet with the martians so they could invade Earth insidiously and steal all our psychics to put them to work in the mines on Mars!
I will never forgive Bin Laden that he was disguised as a Russian linesman in ‘66!
He lives on the sun…it is why no-one can find him, for he has the power to withstand the heat of a million candles.
a million candies?
He arranges the buffets.
He likes to hide mushrooms in the vol-au-vents.
This should be “German Police FAIL” not Nuclear Reactor FAIL.
But.. it didn’t work!
Or did it? In which case it should be a German Education System WIN!
Germany is just one big fail.
Well, good luck with all the enemies you’ll have in five seconds.
I’d have to ask, what nationality are you? Because if you’re American, then you might recall (if your education system was better) that pretty much the only reason you won independence from the British was thanks to French and German support. If you’re not American I’ll feel foolish now.
Gotta love the old tradition of antagonizing your neighbors by aiding rebellion in their colonies under the guise of promoting “liberty.”
Yeah, wish it had worked for us….
I love the fact we all hate someone till they have something we want! *sigh
No, I still hate them even then.
Damned people with stuff.
OMG I have started WW3. The germans have allies and are attacking!!! SAVE YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!
Damn Germans.
Travel back in time 70 years to Poland and say that. See where that gets ya.
Should we let this nincompoop keep digging his own hole?
Ja.
Now there’s a word I haven’t heard in a while.
:nincompoop:
Any relation to Ninjapoop? *just curious*
*poops a ninja*
*lays piece of paper under its tongue*
*ninja’ alive and kicking*
I told you where the word nincompoop comes from Jam?
In 2007, a survey among 2000 Britons revealed that nincompoop was the nation’s favourite word out of 16,500 entries in the Cambridge Dictionary.
ninnii means man in first nations.
*sigh*
That proves it, I feel sorry for all the reasonable Americans that you’re disgracing with your racism and idiocy.
Plus, even if I were somehow the leader of my country, I couldn’t attack America as it’s against our constitution to participate in an offensive war.
My guess: English.
Agreed.
HAH! We were right! VVV
*sigh*
Big news: Idiots are everywhere!
*shrugs*
Tell me about it! We have our fair share in Ireland too, I think most of them just aren’t allowed on the internet! Sorry if I offended any Americans by assuming what’s-his-face was an American. I’m just used to having some Americans being vocal about things they don’t understand.
Nah, I think he just resides in the darker corners of the Internet.
Why didn’t he correct me when I accused him/her/it of being American? Oh well, I don’t care anymore, he/she/it can continue to spew it’s petulant nonsense.

Bye. Thanks for an enjoyable flame war. But you broke rules 1 and 2. You must be new to this.
Whenever you return, you will see me.
Thankyou Jack Johnson.
Ah, I see. So you’re a long-time lurker and fan who knows that his wit and humour isn’t sufficent to make friends around here and that’s why you choose to troll around to get at least some attention? I pity you.
I pity the fool who fracks with our AE.
Wrong answer. I have an account with a picture and with that one I get *squeezes* .I am generally nice and everyone treats me well. However, sometimes it is just much more fun to see how wound up yall get.
Anon.
If that is true you suck even more.
What are you up to, Arthur?
Wait. Guys. We have been trolled. Realism, good game, everyone honestly believed you were a moron. Now can we get back to the My First Reactor?
He got his desired reactors. *set phasers to ignore ignoramus*
Don’t flame me, but the Germans didn’t help us in the Revolutionary war, The French did, the German Hessians helped the British

Oh noez..so stupid germans! MENSCH SIND DIE BLÖD!!!
They’re not alone. Remember when the city of Boston freaked out over a couple of Lite Brites?

oh sooo tempting to comment on, but I’ll exhibit some constraint
I bet now the parents have to pay for the police operation.
MARIMANN
That’s just the official story because they can’t tell the press that two 6 year old’s actually were able to build a working nuclear reactor. Would have been a disaster if that hadn’t been covered up: everyone would be trying to build his own in his backyard, with the electricity costs today.
Don’t forget the clever yellow wiring underneath.
And the proximity of a large water source as coolant.
And the four mysterious canisters with “C” on them.
Oh, sorry, that was the other terrorist scare.
How do you say “Everyone panic!” in German?
Freibier!
I said “panic”, not “start a riot”.
There’s a difference?
Well, the latter is the one that always follows a football match…

No, I said “really L*L”, as opposed to all the fake l*ls we get over here. It was a token of my appreciation and you can rest assured that *rest of speech gets lost in thunder of hoofs*
Wait, is that-
*peers at 4 horsemen*
That looks like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Vladimir Putin and Mahmoud Ahmadenijad! AAAH!!! WE REALLY ARE DOOMED!!!
*screams and runs out of room*
I’m suprised they were bulding a ‘nuclear reactor’. I would expect them to be building tanks/constructing armies and trying to invade other neighbourhoods.
Maybe it was for use in a bomb? hmmmm.

Here is an image of the thing: http://www.blick.ch/news/ausland/sechsjaehrige-loesen-atomalarm-aus-122081
Looks like it was made by one of our drones in sector 7.
Damn, thats pretty realistic. Six year olds made this?
Oh well, at least America isn’t the only country with dumb-shit cops.
I think frontal lobotomies are required world wide for law enforcement now.
Bwahahaha. xD
…and to think: the Germans are our allies…
It’s quite simple really. Someone sees a metallic box with a “radioactivity warning” on it and phones the police. They have no choice but to assume it’s real and possibly dangerous until they can determine otherwise and act accordingly to protect the public from a possible threat. Everything turns out fine, turns out it was just kids playing pretend, and millions of people tout their intellectual superiority over the police on the interwebz. On a related note, anyone remember the Aqua Teen Hunger Force bomb scare in Boston a few years ago?
I’m sorry I didn’t hear you. Could you please say again?
As someone who has worked with radioactive materials, I have to *partially* agree. Immediate evacuation was probably an overreaction if they had easy access to some form of measurement: radioactive sources, fortunately, are rather easy to verify, and if it is already there, leaving it there a slight bit longer isn’t going to make the situation much worse than it already is.
However, it is important to realize that radioactive sources can look like almost anything: the labels and warnings alone, in many cases, are what make them noticeable without a detector. I had one source, for example, that was a fleck of paint painted on top of a small threaded bolt. That source was strong enough to cause permanent, major damage within minutes if, say, put into a pocket. Incidentally, this source was once lost for a short time when someone decided to put it in a box screwed into a conveniently sized nut… which was another radioactive source. Everyday household objects can and are made into sources, and the labels are what make their danger clear.
This is Germany so it’s understandable that they did this because since WW2, they’ve been pretty big on these sort of things that are related to that era.
Even Germans can be Americans!
everything will be fine in a eltdown just press moe and the system will be back to normal
At least the kids are playing outside and using their imaginations!
Kids are stupid nowadays, they can’t even build a proper nuclear reactor…
I agree. We had a complete grid going by our teens.
POLICE FAIL OMG
This is when the adults are stupid.
The kids were just having fun and playing, duh!
(6 year olds can do a lot that we don’t give them credit for, though)
Poor kids lost their nuclear base :’(
Sadly this could happen anywhere in Germany. As soon as nuclear radiation is mentioned, 90% of all Germans lose their capacity for rational thought…
Yes, I am German, and yes, I am a tiny bit frustrated…
Hehe, year
Next time they should stick a clock to the box: ticking means bomb
Hm, I must admit that if someone were to find any container with a nuclear sign on it that I’d appreciate the authorities to actually check it out like that.
