Blow Stuff Up, Indoors

They are going to use it for 'assessing the performance of the non-nuclear, or "primary," component in stockpiled nuclear weapons.' I just think it would be cool to have a little room to blow stuff up in! Anyone got any old PCs that you just don't know what to do with?" Also sounds like a good Dr. No / Dr. Evil unseen-extermination chamber.
This sucks. It's funner when they don't have these rooms. It remindsme of the local guy who blew out a wall of his house *along with his arms and most of his face*
The best part was when the police went to "dispose" of the extra ordinance. About every cop in a 200 mile radius showed up, and the shockwave from blast broke 90 percent of their windows!! Some heads rolled for that, but you didn't have to worry about going 85 mph in a school zone for about a week.
