Freaky-ass aquatic creature:
My husband would run screaming in the other direction if he ever came across that bug/creature/thing! I'm not usually bug-phobic but I'm pretty sure I'd be right behind him.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I was quoting the Barney Miller episode where a kid made an atom bomb as a science project.
OMG this was a movie too! In the movie, the kid stole the uranium from a military-guarded installation (not specifically working on bombs) and replaced it with Prell.
Kid really really wanted to win the science fair. Mayhem ensued.

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

He must not have had cable, and had to make his own fun.

I share an office with a psycho. He left for the day about 15 minutes ago. He'd worked a full day. Because he came in at 4:45 am.

Anyone else want to see a Ginger/tommyrot kerfuffle about bombs?

No, in a uranium bomb, the two pieces of uranium sit at opposite ends of the bomb.
You're right. I was thinking plutonium. In that case, two pieces close together would certainly be highly unstable.

Maybe Ginger is thinking of a plutonium bomb, where the plutonium pieces are arranged in a hollow sphere, surrounded by explosives. When the bomb goes off, the explosives implode the plutonium into a small ball, achieving critical mass and boomage....
