Ming farts in the bathtub and swallows the bubbles.

initially, I read that as stating "Mining farts in the bathtub and swallows the bubbles" and thought for a moment that you two were discussing personal private amusements I would do far better to know far less of ;)

Man, am I glad I don't have to do what you're doing! I'd be dead in six months!

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for stopping in!

heya... a little geography question for ya...

is there a very large port city on the mouth of the Indus river, at the north-west edge of the delta that is... and what is its current name, if it exists?

Howdy, Dr. Tulip.

Is Winston going for an advanced degree also? I bet he could waltz right through the orals for Finnish Architecture.

I suspected he was likely to be a voracious consumer of current events.

Oddly enough, it's the name the Irish and Scots called the Norweigen Vikings and their offspring.

Yep one of my favorite too :) King is also awesome. Here is a stunning picture of Castle Bravo.

Charokee (3.5 Megaton. First deliverable H-bomb)

Housatonic (images of this one are very rare)

And the Rest of my collection of photos which I gathered around the net.

whoa Bravo is AWESOME - migawd I've never seen any of these

now that's what I call GLOBAL WARMING

wish the fathead Russians had taken some pics of Tsar Bomba

Yep :) 400 million degrees (well for a few nanoseconds and the it cools down to a balmy 300,000 degrees). Agree aout Tsar Bomba. It is the largest known nuclear explosion and there are hardly any images of it. I want to see the 20-40 megaton weapons the Russians also tested after Tsar Bomba as well.

Here are a few I could find though.

Tsar Bomba was detonated 4 miles above the surface. The fireball reached 7 miles wide at the point in the photo (about half a second).

Stem is 6 miles thick at the base while that dust surge at the ground surrounding it is about a mile high.

This image was taken from a few hundred miles away. The cloud topped out at 200,000 feet (about 60 miles).
