Random Thought
Posted by Frank J. at 09:05 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (16)

If we had a gun that could shoot straight through the earth, China would really fear us.

Maybe so, if it fires running-dog lackeys.

...and with the recoil, we could reach Mars in HALF the current time! Then the Martians would fear us too!

It's win-win!

For most of CONUS it would hit the Indian Ocean. You'd have to be in Argentina to blast the ChiComs. Also, the muzzle effects would really mess up the yard.

The U.S. signed the "Outer Space Treaty" in 1967 which banned the placement of any WMD's in orbit.

If you wanted to make China fear the US, we could cancel that treaty and place an advanced FOBS there (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System). The Soviets actually developed FOBS in the 1960's minus actual warheads.

A modern FOBS would not have to involve nuclear weapons.

Just a not-very-funny response to your 'random thought,' Frank.

If China were made of sausage, would you eat it? I know I would.

#5 - Posted by: Harry Carates on May 28, 2008 10:45 AM

Yeah... That's pretty random

Fess up Frank. You wrote a random thought generator for your computer to post things while you work at your new job.

The only reason it passes the Turing Test is because we are expecting for such a low level of intelligence in these random thoughts.

We had such a gun, but it was sold to the Chinese after being approved by the Clinton administration.

#8 - Posted by: Evilned on May 28, 2008 11:54 AM

A gun to shoot China? We already have several - they're called Ohio-class Ballistic Missile Submarines.

OK, who told you about the secret government earthquake machine. Can't anyone keep a secret anymore. Sheesh...

It's all in the angle. You don't have to at a point on the direct opposite side, theoretically.

#11 - Posted by: echo5a on May 28, 2008 04:00 PM

Shooting a gun through the Earth would unleash the demons of Hel…oh yea…Hillary is already on the loose and running for President. Never mind…nothing we could possibly do could ever be scary again! I will never see another scary movie! She’s ruined me for life! The Exorcist was like watching Bugs Bunny! Every new “horror flick” I now rent is sooooo lame! I just compare it to answering my door after dark and having her standing there having just risen straight from Hell…AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

#12 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on May 28, 2008 04:11 PM

Badmartin is right - it would come out in the Indian Ocean, but think of the possibilities. We would command absolute authority over the Maldives.

#13 - Posted by: Tommy the Towelhead on May 28, 2008 05:41 PM

No, no, no... you've got it all wrong. The project creates a series of minor tectonic jolts at individual points on one side of the earth and waits for them to converge on the other side. It's like droping ten pebbles into a placid lake at ten different points with the ripples converging at the exact same point at the center of the lake. (In this case, China...)

We had a hell of a time getting the timing down on this one... Thank God for the Hubble space micro... (ahem) telescope. (Like that lens problem was an accident... lots of laughs here at the office on that one...)

I'd give my left nut to find out who the leak at the company is. I'm starting to think that they're on to us.

I suspect this guy..

Time to invade Argentina, I guess.

"The Exorcist was like watching Bugs Bunny!" (compared to Hillary Clinton) -ussjimmycarter

Man, you've had some bad dreams there, my Minnesota friend. Wake up! Cast her off (out?)! It's almost over.

(Ding-dong. Opens door. Hillary in shorty-shorts with bulging cellulite thighs and trailing, bounching butkus. Smiling. Looking straight into ussjimmycarter's horrified eyes...)
