You have to actually arm it with a fission detonator trigger, which are made elsewhere (Rocky Flats outside Golden CO.). And I don't think the instructions are printed in eSpanish. "Peligro! No droppo! Removo el detonario befora yousa me handela! Tejas go boom iffa you no pay atencio!" -drl

Post #137,851 by Andrew Grygus 1/26/04 2:45:03 PM Reply	Commercial reactors would be much safer . . . . because no Mexicans will be involved. All the control and safety functions will be outsourced to India. That way you won't have the crew abandoning their posts and running for the exits since they will already be out of harms way and able to handle their asigned tasks calmly.

Post #138,114 by inthane-chan 1/27/04 11:00:55 AM Reply	Nope. While there is a "you've just killed us" line in HftRO - the rest of the exchange wasn't in it. I have a blue sign on my door. It says "If this sign is red, you're moving too fast."
Post #138,162 by rcareaga 1/27/04 4:26:32 PM Reply	Definitely "The Bedford Incident" The film also featured a very young Donald Sutherland playing, if memory serves, a pharmacist's mate. Who, incidentally, without having recourse to Google, imdb or other internet resources, can name the other high-seas epic from the same period with both Richard Widmark and Sidney Poitier in leading roles? (Does "the mare of steel" ring a—heh,heh—bell?) cordially, Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.
Post #138,215 by Ashton 1/27/04 8:52:42 PM Reply	Ah.. "The Bells of St. Mary's" just. kidding. Miss that wonderful Widmark s n e e r, amidst the formula look-alike pretty boys du jour. (Kinda like the cars..) Nope, can't place him with Poitier; now who was it handcuffed to Poitier in Another genre?
