Cruise missiles can carry a nuclear warhead. A B-52 can carry 20 cruise missiles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_delivery#Cruise_missile) and is the only platform usable for these stealth weapons. We allegedly agreed not to put stealth weapons on stealth aircraft in a treaty (honored but not ratified), so this bird is going to be around for a while... And 20 nukes targeted to that extreme would certainly fuck up the day of a lot of people.
Sir, we do NOT grow Cheetos! If someone want to do unnatural things with corn, well, as long as it's off the farm first then that's their lookout... Everyone knows trolls are covered in Cheetos dust and Doritos crumbs, but they didn't get it from us!
Right! They could just start using synonyms for "very funny" and "great personality". Also, if thigh size is the determining factor in overall size Mrs. Wolowitz (mother of Howard Joel Wolowitz) may have them beat...
Automated armies are best used against ones own citizens. A normal army will not be ruthless in crushing a homeland rebellion because the people in the army are from the same group as the people in the revolution. This can cause a conflict of feelings in a group of soldiers putting down a revolt. Robots have no problem with a "police action" against the citizens of their own country. The Romans did basically the same thing by absorbing conquered armies and then sending them to other regions where they would be fighting/policing people from a land other that their own. As long as the constituents' sons and daughters are towing the line and not associated with the wrong subset of the population database they should have nothing to fear... other than the whole robotic overlord thing...
Revelation 8:1 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

1) expressed in imperial units
2) called "pedestrian" by some poster
Good stuff.
1) You won't be dissing those "imperial units" once the Death Star is finished!
2) I have it on good authority that everything is already moving at 12,000,000 a minute so yes, 2 million miles an HOUR does seem "pedestrian".
You'll be circling the globe roughly every 8 seconds so use a different street each time you go through town... they won't have time to set a trap before shock waves have wiped the town, chair and all, off the map.
That adds a lot of stress. Then pile on 1.3 billion cubic kilometres of water that tends to try to follow the moon around... 1,400,000,000,000,000,000 metric tons sloshing around would put cracks in pretty much anything.
Something sounds like the old fable of pulling yourself up by your own hair.
That actually works but it has to be the hair located between the scrotum and the anus... half the population just doesn't have the balls for it and most of the rest just can't get a grip on the idea...
Seriously, states are giving huge tax breaks to attract business right now. In this economic climate it might even be possible to open a battery factory, although it would be cheaper in other countries. If you control production then the profit that would have gone to a manufacturer as well as a distributor is saved. Then you might save on shipping costs, if you chose to be responsible for that also. I would say build a factory near the Mexico border in AZ, NM, or TX and then put the battery factory a block away in Mexico. I skipped CA as they have made it very costly for anyone to work with things like battery components and metals.

Arrr...
I'm pretty sure Monsanto was involved in some way.
That's why the dust won't stick to the Cheetos... non-stick corn.

Well, tell that to Hitler!
Oh My Godwin!
but the lesser of two evils.
what is this, an election?
You can keep your string. I have two quarks and a muon!
But you don't know where they are or how fast they're going...
It's simply astounding!

Bah, we've been building "mountains" for quite a while already.
Yes, but no one is talking about the looming molehill shortage!

So Disney and Fox won't see another $, €, £ or Yen from me for the forseable future. Original movies 4-6 or nothing.
I would rather see the whole franchise disappear than give Rupert Murdoch one more nickel... and I really like the originals.

nothing terrible there :)
Wait till you hear them play...
Don't expect this. There is an inevitable whining to government that is in the cards... you can bet on it.
Because if they bring the whine, the government will provide the cheese...

I'll save you the trouble on the numbers:

Don't know why I saw 12 million instead of 2 million in TFS... still, even 555 miles per second should have a nice shock wave.

The devil is in the details.
Crap, I've spent years hunting him in the boardroom!
I thought it was Radio Menudo.
No, that's a bunch of tripe!
They haven't been doing that all along anyway?
Of course - but now they're getting enough money to push that colonoscope all the way up to your teeth
Their actions are leaving a bad taste in my mouth!
There's a big difference between Earth and Venus.
Later doesn't have an over-sized moon.
