Okay, I'll be sure to do that. But the first rule of humor is that if you have to explain it, it probably isn't funny.

You seem to be one of the few that needed it explained.

The point was, a quick way to get rid of both partys without posting a terrorist threat in detail.

Alright, alright. But in my defense, the relationship between the theoretical formula and the development of nuclear weapons is marginal at best, as it does not explain the creation of energy in the fission process, only that the potential for energy creation can be measured by extrapolation of the loss of mass. As such, when I see the equation, my first thought is spacetime, not nuclear weapons. Accordingly, I was having a hard time seeing the relation to system revision. I do see now.

Evidently I lack the depth of your understanding of theoretical physics. My apologies, sir.

I find these are the two most effective pic's to convey that particular thought. (in this context... one for each party. )

I know the monsterous Tsar Bomba is the top one. What is the second one?

EDIT: Ah, it is also the Tsar Bomba. I've never seen a photo of it from that angle before.

Thats's really not working for us or the poms as I understand.

Well, apparently you're not the only one. It took a minute to sink in. The formula contributed to some theories that led to the first successful atom bomb.
