Today's lunch time conversation

[pensnest]

Beast: I was reading in Scientific American about some bizarre US military research projects. There's a nuclear hand-grenade. A one kilo-ton yield you can throw...

Pen: Wow. (pause) You'd need a pretty good arm.

Beast: I don't think they're worried about the practicalities. There's also a Star Trek-style transporter project.

Both: Bwahaha.

OH MY GOD I totally think they need to get on that hand grenade. If you if they phased out bombs and shot the wad on hand grenades, that would end all nuclear war.

...well, except for suicide bombers.

Dammit.

"*You* throw it."
"No, *you* throw it."
"No, *you* fucking throw it. I'm outta here..."
"All right, I'll throw it. Hey, where'd everybody go?"


Hee. Perhaps we could give one each to our world leaders.

Seriously, dude. Could be peace on earth if those were the only weapons. You become a world leader so other people can get their asses blown off, not you.

It'd be quite a leveller. wistfulness
