    What drugs are you on? If you had RTFA, you would have seen that the missles all have an impact of under 500 miles at most. Wallops is on the eastern shore of Virginia, so unless the launchers are turned 180 degrees, I don't think they're going to hit anything.

    The following are leap years: 2016 2020 2024 2028 2032 2036 2040 You have been warned. After that, I'll probably be dead, so I won't care (unless Microsoft starts making pacemakers, which may end it for me...).
