    Not funny. Too soon. :o ( :o (

  2. Danbala says:

    However, disregarding my trollz-tourism, I didn’t really find this funny. Maybe it’s because, while it’s an exaggeration, it isn’t figuratively speaking that much of an exaggeration?

    I find it amusing that the day this makes it on the front page, the DOW is up over 100 pts (as of this typing anyway).

    It’s a shame nukes are so dangerous. The mushroom cloud from a big one is one of the most majestic things created by man.

    • ema says:

      I think you’re right and that’s a real nice photo of one.

    • dissimilitude says:

      I know, I’ve always thought it would have been amazing to live out west when they were doing the testing. Of course I’d probably be dead from some bizarre cancer from the fallout….so there’s a downside. I would love to have been able to see it, though.

      • ema says:

        I was just wondering how close you can safely get to one, they must have some sort of mechanism for getting those photos… I can’t imagine it would be safe to stand so close.

        When i did live out west we were travelling, i forget where, part of the southwest desert. there was a missile test area on the horizon, it was beautiful to watch the explosions at night from far away

        I do love watching the scientific tapes of the explosions, to just see the blast wave travelling over the ground, or seeing the initial wave hit a subject like a house and it just turns to dust, then on the backdraft disapears. pity they are so dangerous.

        • Danbala says:

          I agree, it has aesthetical beauty, but I can’t help but think about Hiroshima/Nagasaki when I see those films. I always have thoes double emotions about awe-inspiring weapons, though. Death looks good, but isn’t all that much fun, or something.

          • ema says:

            I like watching things like tornadoes and lightning, extreme weather also can kill you but still so awesome to watch (from a distance!).

            • FaileV says:

              that was possibly the only thing i liked while living in arizona. the storms at the horizon where the air was right so you could see all the lightning arcing around the clouds, but where you were it was still nice, maybe even sunny.

              As for the hiroshima/nagasaki thing. I suppose that’s why I stick to scientific tapes. wonderful footage and I’m terribly detached about it. It’s just that bomb, no attachments to the terrors of humanity. I can’t watch real explosions where terribly things happen to people and still have the same :D feeling.

      I spent about 2 years working in the Marshall Islands on Kwajalein, and while I didn’t get to see nukes going off, I have seen warheads coming in from California (click on name). It’s pretty damn cool to watch these coming in!

    There were so many better captions for this one. Link in name to what a friend of mine had to say about it.

  6. Gnome says:

    Perhaps it should be Detroit as well!

  7. AtlasShrugged says:

    Is that Indiana in a refrigerator ?

  8. stevie w says:

    No, this is when the hyper-inflationary effects of the Fed creating $10,500,000,000,000 hits the markets. Spring 2009.
