Yes but the point is as follows:

It's Global Thermonuclear War, and nobody wins.
But maybe - just maybe - you can lose the least.

I like this one. Very, how shall I say, topical?

:hmm:

Love that pic. for those of you who dont know, that is the nuclear test of "Ivy Mike," more commonly reffered to as just "Mike" It was the U.S.'s first Hydrogen Bomb test, equaling 12-15 Megatons. It was the second biggest bomb in the U.S., the winner obviously goes to "Castle Bravo," which was the biggest U.S. bomb tested. Biggest one in the world was the Russian "Tsar Bomba," measuring 50+ Megatons (that equals 500,000,000 tons of TNT). here are the pretty cool videos for them:

Yup, that nuclearweaponsarchive.org place is an interesting site been there before, some of the photographs are awesome. Which reminds me, I must put 'The Atomic Bomb story - Trinity and Beyend ' (narrated by Kaptain Shatner.. I mean William Kir.. you know who :p hehe) on my list of DVD's to get.

It is a great DVD to have. The soundtrack on it is great, let alone the film footage and photography not to mention the interview with Dr Teller, the daddy of the hydrogen bomb. Get it now!
