awesome. good to know they have complete control at all times

President Obama was briefed this morning on an engineering power failure at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming that took 50 nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), one-ninth of the U.S. missile stockpile, temporarily offline on Saturday.......

Whatever. They lost the fvcking codes in the 90s.

It's almost never a bad thing when nuclear weapons are unusable.

 

[sanjuro]

Well, at least the other 400 ICBM's remained powered up. I think that should be good enough to destroy the world while the gov't fixes the others.

Meh the plutonium on old nukes is full of helium bubbles anyway. They don't even know if they work anymore.

 

[kidwoo]

What does helium have to do with plutonium?

Let me google that for you.

When an atom of plutonium-239 (the isotope of plutonium used in nuclear weapons) decays, it splits into an alpha particle--a helium nucleus with two protons and two neutrons--and an atom of uranium-235. The heavy uranium atom recoils, displacing other plutonium atoms and disrupting the surrounding microstructure. The buildup of gaseous helium atoms combined with other elements in the weapon's environment might gradually change the properties of the plutonium metal.

Well to be fair, it was between that and the first strawberry shortcake premiere.

Was a tough decison.

Yeah don't feel bad. I can still out ride any one of these little fvckers (especially john) so age is really just a state of mind.

Me? I'm about 13.

That's like saying you speak better Japanese than the average resident of Mobile, Alabama.

Depends on who you're going with I suppose...
