    Well hopefully the same thing that happens when
    your CC cant be read and the person useing the

  6. Re:Up for discussion... on The Making of the Atomic Bomb · · Score: 1

    Why two bombs droped??
    well they where two differnt types,
    so to test them i guess..

    As for civilion targets,
    when you drop somethign that powerfull
    theres not too many military bases in
    a country that would not have civilan
    targets..

    Also there where POW camps there too,
    A lot went into choseing the targets,
    they didnt jsut go 'oh two big citys,
    lets bomb them'

    The wheat is not dead,
    its bent/twisted at the stork,
    or the roots below ground (not sure on that one)

    The pattens in Crop circles are not allways
    circles, but are allmost allways perfectly done,
    fairy rings lose there ring shape verry quickly.

    Also a small number of crop circles have comfimed
    overnight appreances.. thats a lot of fungus
    growing in a verry short preiode of time,
    mind you im no bioligist so maybe that sort of
    growth is poisible..

    That is all nice,
    but how many have you been to?
    ever donw the exp. your self??

    The broken and mashed steams are nothing
    at all like the bent and twisted ones,
    a lot of the 'two mates with rope' ones
    have paths leading into and out of the
    circles, the geomerty is slightly off,
    the bending isnt even all round..

    All these thigns lead to a remarkable
