British Chicken-Warmed Nuke

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the chickens-is-there-anything-they're-not-good-for? dept.

darrellberry writes "During the Cold War, British researchers developed a nuclear landmine, kept operational during cold conditions by packing it full of live chickens. This story has appeared in a few UK media channels this morning. Probably an April Fools', but who knows? The bomb is supposedly on display at the National Archives in Kew, so if you live in London you can go and see for yourselves..." Also a BBC story and an older New Scientist blurb.

    Why don't you pour yourself a nice tall glass of shut the fuck up. I think everybody gets that it is April Fools. You've been dragging the site down since day 1 of your arrival and posting this many April Fools stories by this time in the morning isn't helping your stellar popularity.

    Why don't you go back to your parent's basement and jerk off in the dark you fucking loser.
