Mythbusters Explosion Breaks Windows, Tosses Women Off Couches
The Mythbusters' passion for explosions got a little out of hand earlier this week when they detonated 500 pounds of ammonium nitrate a mile outside of Esparto, California. Perhaps two miles would have been better. More » -

Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab Lets You Play Dr. Manhattan for Radioactive Funsies
They don't make toys like this anymore: why have an E-Z Bake Oven when I can have a U-238 Atomic Energy Lab and create my own Manhattan project in the backyard? (BAM! Emeril said it.) More » -

This Is What Happens When a Train Hits Nuclear Waste Containers at 100MPH
On one side, big train running at 100MPH. No driver. On the other, heavy duty containers with nuclear waste. What would happen? Boom. That's what happens. But, surprisingly, not as bad as you can imagine. More » -

Soviet Atomic Lighthouses Are Both Spooky and Deadly
Once upon a time, back when people in Russia used big moustaches and sent other people to Siberia, there were no GPS or tacky cellphones. But they had atomic lighthouses to light the Artic shores. More » -

LHC Ignition Delayed Until August, Earth Spared Another Month
The scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland have decided to delay the ignition of the massive particle accelerator. The LHC countdown now shows 30 more days, so you can enjoy July to its full potential. In case you don't know what a Large Hadron Collider is, it's the thingamajig that is supposed to find the Force that binds all things or—according to some morons—was supposed to kill us all yesterday. Wait, hold on a moment here. Maybe they activated it. Maybe the first collision created a white hole that sucked the whole Universe in, and we got back in time. More » -

Eco-Friendly Bombs Ensure No Smog Results from The Destruction of Your Ancestral Village
I have a problem I'm sure you're all familiar with: eco guilt. Whenever I'm about to drop a gigantic bomb on say, a small village, I get to thinking about the impact of the bomb on the environment.

According to the Air Force, they need the cell processors for assessment: More »
