Who has the biggest bombs of them all?

I think it's more of a message to the American people of some sort.

[Winston]

Well, so far it's mostly been a message to people who like to discuss measurement conversion and basic mathematics.

Can't you guys discuss the best tank, like true polytubbies?

That'd be also Russian built in 1915, the tsar tank...

Ambassador de Sadesky: There were those of us who fought against it, but in the end we could not keep up with the expense involved in the arms race, the space race, and the peace race. At the same time our people grumbled for more nylons and washing machines. Our doomsday scheme cost us just a small fraction of what we had been spending on defense in a single year. The deciding factor was when we learned that your country was working along similar lines, and we were afraid of a doomsday gap.

President Merkin Muffley: This is preposterous. I've never approved of anything like that.
Ambassador de Sadesky: Our source was the New York Times.

We cannot allow a doomsday gap!

Sir, I have a plan!

My roommate does. Trust me, after a night of drinking, the next morning when he goes to the bathroom, he drops major bombs. This one time, I almost had to repaint the whole house.

Does this coincide with the kindergarten thread one way or another?

[Spec]

Not familiar with that thread so I wouldn't know.

It dealt with poop on bathroom walls...

The second article posted says it will be buried and won't produce any noticable cloud. . I was hoping to see something cool. Oh well.

Which really begs the question. What's the purpose of this? I think guys just like to get off over creating large explosions.

If it's buried, how practical can this test be? Yes I know we can design bombs that can bury itself partially in the ground before detonation. But that deep?

And if it is too heavy to be flown, how could it ever be used practically in hostile territory (without being detected).

shouldn't you have a fan or window?

The June test will detonate 700 tons of heavy ammonium nitrate-fuel oil emulsion -- creating a blast equivalent to 593 tons of TNT

Why not just use 593 tons of TNT then?
