REDNECK GEEK---Edward Teller, the famous theoretical physicist known as the father of the hydrogen bomb for his work in the World War II-era Manhattan Project, died in 2003, but his daughter Rene told The Free Press of Kinston, NC, that she had recently discovered two of her fathers precious mementos at a thrift shop near Kinston during a road trip to visit relatives. Fathers work was so demanding she said, that he needed recreational activities and tried the things youd suspect, like chess. However, the two mementos were awards Teller had won at tractor pull competitions. Hed show up at major tractor pulls riding just a Cub Cadet mower, and leave the competition in the dust. Tellers secret, she said, was using nuclear fusion-based engines, which sponsors ultimately had to ban.
