good to know that it would take a 2500KT bomb detonated at the whitehouse for me to be in the outer reaches of the blast radius.

bad to know that it only takes 200KT to reach my girlfriend's apartment :(

however all of the trendy white people neighborhoods in d.c. would be wiped out... maybe this is not such a bad plan after all.

last one...

notice how the same bomb that would devastate manhattan barely puts a dent into the behemoth that is the city of houston.

Although the tall buildings in manhattan might absorb the brunt of a smaller bomb where the open space of Houston might love an airburst.

Many more parking lots than humans would be lost on that fateful day.

Although Houstonians used to driving (literally) everywhere might have no choice but to stay home and starve

Terrorist plot

1. use surgical strikes on oil fields/etc to jack up gas prices and force people out of SUVs and into little cars

2. blow up roads

3. people sure wish they had their SUVs as they starve
