"The US Air Force came dramatically close to detonating an atom bomb over North Carolina that would have been 260 times more powerful than the device that devastated Hiroshima.

Two Mark 39 hydrogen bombs were accidentally dropped over Goldsboro, North Carolina on the 23rd of January 1961. The bombs fell to earth after a B-52 bomber broke up in mid-air, and one of the devices behaved precisely as a nuclear weapon was designed to behave in warfare: its parachute opened, its trigger mechanisms engaged, and only ONE low-voltage switch prevented untold carnage.

Of the four safety mechanisms designed to prevent unintended detonation, three failed to operate properly. When the bomb hit the ground, a firing signal was sent to the nuclear core of the device, and it was only that final, highly vulnerable switch that averted calamity."

I feel like if the safety mechanism had failed and the bomb had actually detonated, we would currently live in a world with much more nuclear disarmament.

I'm not saying you do this but a I have frequently seen a group of older gentlemen at the gym blatantly staring at the girls walking on the treadmill and let's just say it's not very subtle at... all. I think if I was a girl I would be pretty creeped out by this. Never seen a younger guy just sit down and stare at someones ass; usually a quick glance and they move on.

Well to play devils advocate I am a regular at Edge Fitness and fit sexy/beautiful woman in SKIN TIGHT outfits is not uncommon at all. Plus wearing those outfits, running on a treadmill as I am on the stationary bike right behind them, if you think for a second I won't look, good luck with that. Would I stare the entire time; no. But I can say this, to expect any heterosexual male not to look is absolutely unrealistic. But I get staring, that can be creepy.

If they do not want to be admired, wear baggy sweatpants and sweatshirt; not something that shows what you got.

Not all beaches. But when I was in Jamaica, lets just say I tried not to get slapped by the fiance.

I learned of a couple of YouTube accounts that make videos of themselves (beautiful ladies) using something that is banned on here for fun. I subscribed.

What i learned today was this

Even when you do a spline count then confirm with your seller that the item listed as coarse spline knobs are in fact coarse spline knobs, there is still a 50/50 chance you will receive fine spline knobs when you order. Since everyone is subject to an aw-chit day so i tend not to allow minor things to get uder my skin, but for some unkown reason i got really pissed when i was confronted with this newfound fact regards the odds on the spline count of split shaft knobs being what one needs. I was over it as quick as it got on me, but it was quite a surprising departure from the norm when an unwelcome surprise drops on my day.
