I find it hard to believe that that was an accident.
But if it was deliberate, it worked, because I clicked on that page.

To be fair, at a certain distance from the bomb that would be a good idea. Too close and you're dead no matter what, too far and it's just a minor earthquake type thing.
I think the lack of information was probably more to do with a lack of information about what the hell nuclear bombs were capable of or their after effects. It's not a minor earthquake either, since you know, nuclear bomb. Don't travel downwind if you survive the blast, or you're looking at nuclear Pompey.

Against fission weapons, "duck and cover" is a legitimate technique. It's taught to Marines and other ground troops to this day (substituting other forms of cover for the desk, of course). As long as you're outside the fireball, and there's not direct line-of-sight to the detonation point, the chief danger is building collapse rather than incineration or direct impact from the pressure wave. Most of the short-term deaths at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were of this sort. Contrary to the popular image, radiation isn't a short term danger unless you're exposed directly to the bomb emissions. Fallout increases cancer risk and is likely to shorten your lifespan, but it won't kill outright. (Las Vegas was downwind of the major US tests for several years, and the bursting atomic bombs were considered a tourist attraction. Duck and Cover was obsoleted by high-yield fusion warheads that had such a large blast radius that more substantial cover was needed rather than of any deficiency in the technique itself.

Aaaw man, how could I miss the discussion on catgirls in space? :C

In all seriousness though, the concept of a space-navy of genetically engineered super-soldier lesbian catgirls sounds quite creative. I approve.

It's probably telling that I can think of at least 2 anime series that partially qualify.

What we really need is a sequel to Strike Witches that crosses over with 40K.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Couldn't be any worse than lesbian spider-mutated superheroes/supervillians in Cleveland Ohio.

Note: that comic is surprisingly hilarious.

Edit: Spinnerette: NSFW And like I said, its hilarious if you can overlook the gratuitous use of painted on super heroine costumes.

Please don't tempt reality with words like that, Nadaka. "Couldn't" is a word the internet loves to spit on :-\

Well, the internet and, like, non-digital mediums, too. Whatev'.

The IRC channel. Around 10 people decided to impersonate Vorthon. It was wonderful.

I swear, the IRC is like the sex of Bay12 - everyone but a few are doing it, and informing everyone else who isn't doing it of how great it is.
Meh.

I second this notion, although I would like to state for the record I do very much wish to engage in sex. The opposite partner being a female is a requisite.
