Crazy as the ChiComs are, I doubt they’d tinker with their already precarious Dam system.

Unless the test was far, far, far away, and the law of Unintended Consequences just got taken to the Karmic Supreme Court.

BTTT

That happens. After assembling by BBQ (following the translated directions) it looks more like a lawn mower.

...but it makes a great Margarhita...

Manbearpig is known to live in deep caves. The Chinese were were going to fill it with hot molten lead but were out that day.

So they used a nuke, instead. :-P

Nuclear material, if not dispersed well enough, can generate enough heat to vaporize itself or the storage matrix and produce high-pressure gasses. If in a closed container, a reactor core, or storage site, it can appear to explode if there is a sudden decompression. An explosion also could have been caused by the rupture of a high pressure water or liquid sodium cooling system. In either case, US radiation monitors should have picked up any traces of the plume if there was a release of radiation.

Aliens in Denver.

The “whitey” videotape.

Nuclear explosion caused by Chinese earthquake, or maybe vice versa.

FreeRepublic is romancing every hot rumor in town.

A few questions.

Get them all right and I’ll get Hillary and Huma to.......

1. This for real?

2. Did device start earthquake?

3. WTF?

4. Reaction among the Sons of the Rising Sun?

“...explosion of “volcano was observed in the earthquake”, following cloudburst of typhoon flooding in tsunami during heat wave.

"Unless the test was far, far, far away, and the law of Unintended Consequences just got taken to the Karmic Supreme Court."

LOL!

to speak Chinese it is necessary for the speaker to access both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously.

That's fascinating. But how do we know that native English speakers aren't doing the same thing?

Maybe only people who learn a second language later in life use only one side of the brain to store the information.

Aliens in Denver? Like in space aliens?

Ah, I missed that one. :(

[Always Independent]

They are tummeling to us just like that movie in the sixties!

[Partisan Gunslinger]

Here's the seismograph of the earthquake. I personally don't see a nuke signature (sharp crack, not fuzzy) in it:

They're not saying the nuke caused the earthquake, they're saying the earthquake caused the nuke to detonate.

Naturally, whether the nuke detonated or not, seismographic data will look like a regular quake as any disruption from the nuke would be drowned out by the much more powerful quake.

Heh...two words...Dan Rather.

So, what do you have to offer, other than that?

[Steve Van Doorn]

Any of you guys still around?

You have any in site in to this?

[Joya]

Ping.

[Mogollon]

They’re probably testing our W88 warhead that Slick Willy supplied them with via the thefts at Los Alamos.

Very interesting; I’d heard about various intonations of the same word changing the meaning, but not about the dual hemisphere aspect of the Chinese language.

Welcome to FR Chinese visitors.

Here is a new story about the earthquake. I don’t know what is the truth about this nuclear event. You may not hear about it in your news, but I thought it would interest you. We in American continue to have you in our thoughts, and hope things are getting better. We know they are very bad with so many people killed and homeless.
