How's this for full sentences:
I was trying to figure out the blast and radiation effects of a
hypothetical 10-20t yield 2kg (total mass, not pit mass) Californium
baby nuke just the other day, and I found out that the published
official software models poop out at 0.1 kiloton. What a pity. I wonder
if I should file a FOIA request on the Davy Crockett effects
information--they must have test shot info on at least one of those
puppies, since they were actually fielded for a while. That ought to get
me on *somebody's* list, if I'm not already. :) I nosed around a bunch
on the 'net, too.
*Why* was I doing this? I was trying to figure out just how dead some
characters in the movie version of _Starship Troopers_ ought to be. We
hard-SF readers are a funny bunch.
Btw, for any who didn't know, SSBN is also the designation for the US
Navy's fleet ballistic missile submarines.
Go Echelon! Beat Constitution!
