Here are ten things I would rather do than watch Trump's announcement:

1. Have a root canal
2. Listen to Creed at full volume
3. Calculus
4. Relive being rejected for prom twice in one day
5. Relive prom (my eventual date threw up on me)
6. Eat glass
7. Dress like MC Hammer in public (I am a middle aged white guy)
8. Wear pants four sizes too small
9. Wear a meat suit to the dog park
10. Cheer for the Chicago Bears

of course it all comes down to the health of #12. Badgers? If they can grow up quickly in the secondary and get healthy on the DL it should be another great season!

from PBS' The American Experience, Command and Control, about the disaster in Damascus Arkansas. A leak in one part of the fuel tank of a Titan II ICBM caused the rocket and silo to explode. Thankfully, the warhead didn't go off. If it had, pretty much all of Arkansas, southern Missouri, western Kentucky, etc would have been exposed to lethal radiation. The Titan II was the highest yield ICBM of that era.

Its fun - really it is. Like figuring the energy of a hurricane (a double integral problem)
The energy is the cube of the wind velocity - mind boggling.
