mooreRoy Michael Moore has squatted for several years in a cave at the US nuclear weapons facility Los Alamos National Laboratory. His solar-powered home features a glass door, stove, and marijuana garden. After smoke from his stove alerted authorities, Moore was busted for possession, posted bail, and was released. His website micromike.com explains his scientific and philosophical theories about cosmology and astrophysics. From the Albuquerque Journal:
He headed for Los Alamos, he said, because it is one of the smartest towns in the country, with a dense population of physicists working at LANL.

Using marijuana to help him solve problems inherent to the mysteries of space and time, Moore said, constitutes his "pursuit of happiness."

"I just dedicated myself to staying here forever until I die to try to get this work done," he said.
