And then there was this thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNlOtLhnsEE&NR=1

What are those lines you see sometimes going up when it explodes? I've seen them in a lot of different videos of nukes going off. Also, what is that music?

Apparently nukes are a great way to get dirt off your car,  =D

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

"Wind tunnel for nukes", essentially.  Their sole purpose is to leave a straight trail of smoke, and see what happens from the explosion.   Allows charting of the movement of air, shock waves, etc.

Great explanation of the history of it.

I'm a wannabe nuke lover, so I am loving these nuke threads.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

True, with most nukes, not counting ER weapons, lethal X, Neutrons, and Gammas are all largely within the area that would be 100% fatal from overpressure and thermal pulse anyway. Inverse square-law really works well here in your favor.

If you survive the blast, and succumb to radiation, it'll be from fallout.

The Chinese use(d) cavalry in the second half of the 20th century. On horses. With sabers?  ???
That's awesome.
And why do only some of the horses have gas masks?

Some of the cavalry understood the importance of bathing.

Really makes me question the era's Chinese military leadership's acumen if they really thought they'd be fighting the French in land warfare, and downwind.
