Advice we can all use: How To: Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
Remove the neutron trigger. This will be a small disc or ball. Don't eat it – it will be made of polonium or some other highly radioactive material, which initiates the chain reaction.
...
Separate the U-235 masses. These will be two small but very heavy chunks of metal – an isotope of uranium. If they get too close to one another, the combined critical mass will flood the area with radiation, and you will die. Kept apart, each emits only relatively harmless alpha particles – you could even handle them without gloves if necessary. Put each piece in a separate metal box and call the authorities.
It should be noted that these instructions assume you have a uranium bomb, not a plutonium bomb.
I don't see anything right with the concept either. But I've developed an allergy to A&F, including their employees.
All you October lovers are freaks. It's getting nippy out! I needed a wrap last night.
I do love Ziploc.

Also *coughmybirthdaycough*
Also mine, I think on the same day, Friday the 13th baby!
"Kip Hawley is an Idiot"
Who is Kip Hawley? I presume he is famous enough in TSA circles to cause consternation, but to me, it was like getting pulled over for having a bumper sticker that says "Jeffrey Smith can eat my shorts." Unless Jeffrey Smith is a highway cop --?
After careful consideration, I would also like to be paid on the 13th. Everyone but sumi can stop working.
I was so full this morning from last night's dinner that I skipped first breakfast. Does that make sense? Being full from a meal that ended at 8pm almost 12 hours later?
Freaky-ass aquatic creature: [link]
This giant deep-sea isopod is an example of an animal that has evolved to a much larger size in deeper water. These isopods are distant relatives of the tiny "pill bugs" found in many gardens. They are also related to small shallow-water isopods that live in tide pools.
Some creationist dude is claiming that this is a trilobite, which somehow proves the earth is only 6000 years old.
