What is the sampson option?
The Samson Option is so-called from Samson, who was one of the Judges in Israel (see the Book of Judges).
When they stood him among the pillars, Samson said to the servant who held his hand, "Put me where I can feel the pillars that support the temple, so that I may lean against them." Now the temple was crowded with men and women; all the rulers of the Philistines were there, and on the roof were about three thousand men and women watching Samson perform. Then Samson prayed to The Lord, "O Sovereign Lord, remember me. O God, please strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes." Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood. Bracing himself against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other, Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines!" Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived."
It refers to Israel, if confronted with certain destruction, saying "F*** it, if we're going, so's every Moose Limb we can lob a nuke at."
I call it the "Tom Lehrer Option," from his song, "We Will All Go Together When We Go."
