Swede Tries To Make Nuke Reactor In Kitchen

"Swede Tries To Make Nuke Reactor In Kitchen"

This news story is fucked up. It claims that the guy's name is Helsingborgs Dagblad, and even quotes him with lead-ins like "Dagblad later told The Local ..."

Helsingborgs Dagblad sounds like the name of a newspaper, not a person. Dagblad is a common word for daily newspapers in the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries, and I know Helsingborg is a city because I've been there, to ride a ferry to the similarly named Helsingor in Denmark. (The ride is so short that you can see each of those towns from the other, weather permitting.)

Helsingor, Denmark, by the way, was famously renamed Elsinore for the English ears by that ol' rapscallion Billy Shakespeare, in a little play he liked to call Hamlet.

If Billy could read this story, he might note that something is rotten in Denmark. Or at least across the sound in Sweden.
