You Find a Nuke in your Backyard.. What do You do with it?

[Inverse Skies]

Is irradiation interchangable with radiation?

I think 'irradiation' refers to the process of being irradiated with radition, as in radiation is penetrating or attacking something. Sounds about right anyway.

There is absolutely nothing good I could do with such power. I could annihilate my friends, my enemies, or even the world at large. I could try to sell it and risk incaraceration (plus, depending on the buyer, a non zero chance of spurring forth an apolocaplytic war). I could use it to extort but this would likely end in my tragic demise.

Clearly I have no use for a weapon of such vast power that it is almost incomprehensible.

My only solution is to give it up to the government. They may have no better track record of containing such power thanI would likely have, but at least I don't have to sweat over having personally annihiliated the species.

I'd say it's not "almost" incomprehensible to you. I'd say it IS incomprehensible. One nuke's not going to annihilate any species, unless you take it to one of those deep, isolated caves that has species unique to that one cave. By the way, if you give a known murderer a loaded gun you can become an accessory to murder. You aren't absolved of all guilt. If you really believe what you say you do, you'd hide it away somewhere so it couldn't be used at all. (A little FYI, the trigger mechanism corrodes very quickly. After only 6-9 months, it won't work.)

The average joe can't do squat with a nuke. They're not psychotic enough to detonate it, and if they try to sell it, anyone powerful enough to buy it would just kill him and take it. All you can do is turn it in, and hope NBC News doesn't portray you as the next Richard Jewell.

Oh jeez, I'd report it the second I got to a phone (there's no phone where I live so I'd have to run to the local Wal-Mart to place a call to my gov't).

 

[goldenheart323]

I'd keep it just so I can have a WMD to call my own. I've always wanted one.

If I had two I might threaten to set them off in Isreal and Palestine if the two of them can't stop bickering and learn to share (I know that's both a heavy reation to their problems, but it's the sort of thing that's never been tried before and it can't be worse than leting them continue how they are ).

Hmmm... slaughtering the population of 2 countries is better than letting them kill each other a dozen at a time. Mm'kay then. Makes sense to me.

 

[Anarchy In Detroit]

I'd say blow up Wall Street but the rest of New York is A OK by me so I'd have to scratch that option.

I'd get rid of it. "Hey Superman pooped a nuke out on my lawn. Yeah. Mmmhmm. He did. Come pick it up."

You leave it, go to your car. Drive to your bank. Take out all the money in your checkings, and savings and drive to your local hardware store. Once there purchase EVERY HAMMER POSSIBLE. Once you've acquired at least 200 hammers go back to your house, and stand on your roof. From there throw hammers at the nuke until it detonates.

 

[Sazazezer Mililpili]

One word...

Hammertime!

Nukes works like that, right?

 

[Dj_Trip]

I would mispell every million dollar word I know to describe what I'd do with it. Then, I'd shoot myself in the face so I don't have to live in a world with you stunted fucks anymore.

 

[blackfrancis567]

All hail atom

 

[Dj_Trip]

All hail atom

yes THIS.

 

[Spitfire175]

I'll convert it to a nuclear reactor and power my lawnmower with it.

 

[Ben Legend]

Hit it with a hammer a few times... surely thats a good start--- ***BOOM***

 

[RobCoxxy]

What about run like hell?
After checking which way the wind is blowing?

Just in case.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

Do what that guy did with the ferrari and hang it up in my house. Or sell the insides and make the coolest pressure cooker ever.

 

[Riccan]

Domesticate it and name it Fluffles.

I would jump upon it with a trusty spanner and start hitting it in the wild hope of disarming it.

I would use it to free the oppressed people of Australia. No one should have to deal with a Left 4 Dead Two without dismemberment.

This is also a viable, and noble idea.

I thank the Noble Prize committee for this award, and I would like to take this opportunity to issue a call to all concerned people to act now. For just pennies a day, you can sponsor a desperate Australian gamer who no longer has access to the most basic resources of gore, swearing, and boobs (actually I don't know about the last two, but is anyone going to complain if we provide these to them? No? Didn't think so.).

Not the whole population of the two counties, just a chunk of it. Besides, the whole world seems to be getting dragged into it and too many nations are taking sides, so I feel more folks should be saying something like "as long as you're arguing, I HATE BOTH OF YOU!".
