Wow! That sciforums post is the first, and only, thing I found when initially searching for info on a potential atom bomb hoax… Didn't know it was so… historic! Still got it in my bookmarks.

Amazing detective work here, people!

So, with what I have posted in this message, the post on sciforums isn't the first recorded one.

It is the one of the Flat Earth Society forum, since it was posted on March 03, 2007, 03:04:04 AM, by "17november" ; so 54 days before cactusneedles.

However, if cactusneedles had posted messages on 2004 and 2005, he is still the first.
