Enda’s revolutionary plans mirror Homer’s Odyssey... D’oh

A MAN who decided it would be fun to try and split the atom on his kitchen stove is now facing two years in jail.

The Swede, Richard Handl, admitted he’d achieved a “small meltdown” in his flat using the radioactive elements radium, americium and uranium when he was arrested on charges of unauthorised possession of nuclear material.

Handl had been trying for months to set up a nuclear reactor in his kitchen and was only busted when he asked Sweden’s Radiation Safety Authority for help and they replied by sending the cops round.
