Not sure, but I think you need to break something first. :hmm:

As the still president would say:
Nukular:rotfl:

This seems to be from "Operation Hardtack", a series of underwater nuclear tests in 1958

Lol, did Bush came up with that name too? Someone should tell him it's spelled heartattack. :hmm:

Hardtack means those:


Strange is that apparently a deep water nukular () explosion will set off not one explosion, but a chain reaction of up to three until the gasses reach the surface.
1. Gas expands with the fireball
2. Gas contracts with water pressure
3. Gas reaches such a concentration that it ignites again
4. repeat.

Hardtack
Pretty much the only form of bread ordinary sailors had in the age of sail, also the standard military food of the 19th century.

In the present day german armed forces, a package of hardtack is in every EPA field ration. If you put shoe polish on them, they burn quite well.
Some folks even eat them.
