Because Tuesday is the New Monday

Posted by mistergroonk in Art, Intertube Madness on January 25, 2011

We were going to save this for a Monday Good Morning. Then, over the last three days, our toilet broke(now fixed), the oven broke(remains unfixed), and this piece of shit coffeemaker decided to brew up a batch of coffee then promptly shatter spilling precious Black Blood of the Earth everywhere.

The world may be burning in fire and snow right now but we find it hard to give a good goddamn without The Precious running through our veins.

Nuclear Detonation Timeline 1945-1998. That’s 2053 Nuclear Tests All Over the World

Posted by mistergroonk in On the French, USA, Video, World on August 3, 2010

Here you have your basic Nuclear Detonation timeline from recognized “Nuclear Weapon States.”

As the video starts out detonations are few and far between. The first three detonations represent the Manhattan Project and the two bombs that ended World War II. After a few representative minutes the USSR and Britain enter the nuclear club and the testing really starts to heat up.

Even though the video does not differentiate between sub-critical “safety” tests and full detonations, you get a good idea of the fever of the nuclear arms race.

Sleep well.
