I daresay, OMFG

From NYT:

The inquiry involving the Air Force was an effort to determine how four high-tech electrical nose cone fuses for Minuteman nuclear warheads were sent to Taiwan in place of helicopter batteries. The mistake was discovered in March — a year and a half after the mistaken shipment.

Mr. Gates made clear that most troubling was that the inquiry showed how little the Air Force had done to improve the security of the nuclear weapons infrastructure even after it was disclosed last year that a B-52 bomber had flown across the United States without anyone’s realizing that it was carrying six armed nuclear cruise missiles.

(Emphasis added.)

Fix up, look sharp

RE: "As has been said many times before on the forum, if you want to attract a hipster you can’t act as though you’re too excited about your 'life situation.'”

Hey doods, you can also try dousing yourself in the suds of some handmade Pabst soap.

Les sciences: killer black holes, plastinated squid

While at work I have to peruse the internet for science news to post to our web site. Sometimes it's fun. The first of these articles won't make it onto our site, but the latter did!

"Two men are pursuing a lawsuit to stop scientists from using a giant particle accelerator, saying it could create a black hole that might eat up the Earth." (NYTimes)

"Paris' latest star is no damp squid." (AFP) [It's an article about the world's first plasticized giant squid. C'mon.]
