  • Yeah. He's the only guy in town whose job doesn't involve blowing up the fucking planet. What a lunatic, huh?

  • ...wait... is that a Geiger counter constantly clicking in the background?!?

  • Yes. :-)

  • "Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has, as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity"

  • i love this guy hes a type of adoptive father figure for me, i am a physicist and understand more about making 'better bombs" than most of the people who made them

  • Unbelievable!!

  • genius i think =D

  • nooo!!! :(

  • Ed passed away this morning.

  • nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

  • I had the distinct pleasure of spending over 2 hours with Atomic Ed. We arrived at his shop when he was closing the doors, we informed him we were from Kansas and were extremely interested in his shop. He quickly opened the doors back up and spent a long time with us. The Black Hole is absolutely amazing, I strongly suggest you visit him.

  • My father said he wasn't always like this, I think he's found a market in anti-nuclear advocates, and is just tapping them for a source of money. Note, he's quite a business man, he owns land in and around the town. I think "Ed's Food Mart" was his, now there is some yoga place there.

  • BTW, I don't work at the lab.. I might someday, but for now I'm trying to reduce the stress of such a thought..
