1.News of the day
As an interesting continuation of last "nuclear" post, Israel is now considering bombing Iran's nuclear research facilities with tactical nuclear bunker buster.

They said its only about 1/15 of the TNT used in Hiroshima. Well, both ways, you will get your ass kicked.

But its not really a big deal though. A SINGLE USSN Trident Submarine got the following nuclear power:

Trident Submarine:
24 Triden D-5 Missiles
(up to) 8 warheads
(up to) 400 kilotons each (20 Hiroshimas each)
or 3,840 Hiroshima equivalents per sub.
(generally less because of Treaty)

BOOOOM!

2.Post of the day
Got my book from a fellow douban user. I am in one piece. whew.
My hands still hurts from practicing guitar cords...One day I will sing and play without messing up the whole thing.

3.Article of the day
How to live to be 150
Seriously though, whats the point of living till the end of time if you cannot enjoy it? To me, life is not about what you gain, its about what you have done. If you have stuff to do till 150, be my guest. Otherwise, why waste Earth limited resources?

May as well go to a long term space exploration or volunteering in Iraq? ...

4.Video of the day
Since we are talking about boom today, may as well show this clip of booming myth in our daily lives. The story goes like this: An executive keep talking in car for hours on the highway and finds out the gas is running out. He gets to the gas station, start pumping the gas, and keep talking on his cell. The car then suddenly blows up, so does the gas station. Thats where Mythbuster comes in!

Mythbuster - cell phone gas station explosion Part 1 is here if you want to see the whole set up. American ingenuity at work! I can finally talk like no tomorrow at the gas station.

However, you should remember, stay outside and remember to GROUND yourself if you have to go in and out of the car!
