Back in October, I linked to a page written by a person who claimed to have built a fission warhead out of radioactive material from discarded smoke detectors, and also planned to launch it on a model rocket on April 1, 2000. The page has since gone 404, but I've [snagged a copy](warhead.htm) from google's cache. My referrer logs show that this is a popular search topic now for some reason, so... here you go.
