Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They really have all been adorable. Love it.

Of course, I realized I had assumed Ang Lee was gay, based on The Wedding Banquet, which is retarded on my part.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jesse! That's just like your guy-from-Melrose-Place thing. What are we going to do with you?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Good news from science:

Explosives are another good way to produce shock waves. In this case, the energy is stored in an unstable chemical form—often in nitrates—and can be released in about a microsecond. Ironically, most chemical explosives contain less energy per unit mass than ordinary table butter, but fortunately the butter is too stable to explode.

From a real interesting (if you like geeky science stuff) article on shock waves. Plus lots of cool pictures.

Also, more pictures of nuclear tests. These are more traditional than the ones posted earlier. [link]
