Looks like we Americans might be having our first urban president

No, it wouldn't be in the fireball itself--but the firestorm region's not the same--it's the area around the fireball that catches fire after the explosion.

Last post on this off topic:

With a bomb like Little Boy, stuff would ignate spontaenously up to around 1.5 miles away.

Of course, this all depends on weather conditions, but given that Chicago is a more sturdily built city than Hiroshima 60 years ago, most is not all residences in Hyde Park would remain standing and fire free, with only the posibility of minor structural damage or blown out windows.

Of course, no one uses bombs that small anymore - the average nuke on an ICBM is 250-300 Kilotons.

When do we get our first urbane president?

Fair enough. I was going off of things I only vaguely remembered, so~

Yeah, Chicago's more sturdily built, but not strong enough to completely withstand a Magnitude 8+ earthquake from the New Madrid fault.

Anyway, Obama's districts were quite urban, but not really gerrymandered; I can't say about Honolulu, but he's spent most of his life in cities...

...which are in fake America, so.

Most of 'em have been pretty dignified, is my understanding?

I think Obama is very urbane. Civilized also.

My apartment was between Ward and Punahou. He went to Punahou High.

That statement is not as accurate as I first mis-remembered. I was thinking of Piikoi St., not Punahou St. Punahou was another few blocks over.

But in doing some poking around on Google Maps, it turns out the first supermarket I worked at over there was only a couple of streets away form Punahou High. I wonder if he ever came into my store while I was working there. I don't remember him.

Jakarta is an American city?

News to me.

Oh, and isn't this thread yet another murray?
