I was watching Modern Marvels on the Discovery Channel today and the following description caused me to stop playing my game, "this is the M-65, 155mm recoilless rifle, with a .01 kiloton nuclear warhead on the end of it."
Huh?
"Yes, you heard correctly; this is a nuclear rifle," the announcer repeated.
This thing is not the "Nuclear Cannon" you've seen in old test films, this thing qualifies as a rifle, with a nuclear warhead for a bullet. It can be hand carried on foot, or mounted on a jeep. It has a range of up to three miles. Read about it on Wikipedia. Though the article says the firing crew was safe, the show said that at three miles, the crew was within the blast radius and if the wind was blowing toward them from the blast crater, they would get a leathal dose of radiation. The article also says that the weapon was featured in the 2004 video game, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
It tested once in 1962 in Nevada at a life-fire exercise which was attended by Robert F. Kenndy. The system was retired in the early '70s. Your tax dollars at work . . . You should be more like Cantrip.  Twitchy: "I pulled a Cantrip . . ." GivePeaceAChance: "If the Tempest had nipples, I'd pinch that shit." Xylicon: "I'm about to deliver my [Richard] in your face for posting that stupid shit. " WDF?: "He keeps reaming me... night after night... I'm rather sore." GivePeaceAChance: "OMG MY NIPS ARE HARD" llenta: "cantrip, you fail!!!" Filliam H. Muffman: "i'm on top of dick"

I have one of those. But instead of exploding with extreme heat/radiation/death it explodes with delicious taffy. TerribleNate wrote:Fuck nice... Tell her she is fat and stupid every day. Don't be afraid to pop her one every once and awhile. This will make her think shes doing a bad job and try harder. Believe me, if I started murdering people, there'd be none of you left.

shoot it this way then I am not an alcoholic... I am a drunk.... Alcoholics go to meetings. Grumpy wrote:WDF? wrote:Our ... is going up today, actually..... so... yeah... I'll section it. WARNING! Times mentioned in the above post are stated in WHUT time... which is not the time normal humans are accustomed. Whut time is relative. Today is defined as whenever Whut happens to get a bug up his ass and thinks he is gotten sorta of close to being in the mood. The actual real life timeframe for these occurences is unknown at this time. Sometimes it happens more than once in a day and during other periods it would be more like for hell to freeze over than anything actuallly getting done. Currently we are in a time frame where it would seem that there would be more of a chance of Dragon getting a girlfriend as far fetched as that might be than there would be of anything actually happening here.  -YourAimSucks -Reaper o'Blood -{pDs} Bloodhands
