When A Rocket Fuel Factory Catches Fire… You Get One REALLY Large Explosion…
In 1988… A welder accidentally set a fire in a plant called PEPCON near Henderson, Nevada. This is where they made the solid fuel for the space shuttles booster rockets. The resulting explosion equaled 100,000 tons of TNT… or the equivalent of a one kiloton nuclear bomb.
-
They only had a million dollars worth of insurance.
There was $71 million dollars in damage.
This video was taken from enough miles away so that the sound took a few seconds to reach the microphone.
DamnInteresting has the long version of this story… And It’s A Damn Good Read!

Lipstick On A Pig… America’s Descent Into Idiocracy…
The newsies all wring their hands and tsk..tsk..tsk about how ridiculous this lipstick on a pig brouhaha is… But they play it up over and over again.
CNN…MSNBC…FOX…ABC…CBS…The friggin BBC for cryin’ out loud!
“Did he?…or Did he not?!?”… More after these messages!
And the call-ins!.. OMG!! People have worked themselves into a tizzy on both sides of the issue.
Are the people of the United States Of America so dense that they’d buy into the same simplistic, jingoistic… “let’s find somebody to hate ” … drivel that allowed a bunch of juvenile, sociopathic, yet psychologically astute nutjobs to hijack the country’s common sense and wreck the economy … Instigate a war on the wrong country and target the constitution for malicious overhaul?
I’m pretty much convinced that the stress of worrying over all of the economic stresses (and trying to figure out how much liquid you can carry onto your flight.) has turned the average American brain to mush.
We’ve heard more about Palin and Pigs in the past two weeks than we’ve heard about the 12 or so banks that have failed…Or the Fannie and Freddy debacle. We’re talking Trillions of dollars that the taxpayers are going to be taking responsibility for… And the number one story is about whether or not someone insinuated whether someone else is a pig… For crying out loud!… I’ve heard Ms. Palin called a hell of a lot worse by a whole bunch of people. And I still don’t care. The woman self described as a Pit Bull witth lipstick for Pete’s sake!
Could it be that someone really…and I mean REALLY doesn’t want us thinking about the economy? Does someone think that we’re really so infantile in our thinking that we’ll forget our mortgage companies and fuel tanks?!? Apparently … The answer is yes.
And if we are.. Do we deserve to be shafted, screwed, skunked, skewered and shylocked? Do we deserve to have the movie Idiocracy become prophetic?
Yup…

Green Polar Bears…
AP- TOKYO — Green polar bears are drawing questions from puzzled visitors at a Japanese zoo.
Three normally white polar bears at Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in central Japan changed their color in July after swimming in a pond with an overgrowth of algae.
The sight of green polar bears has prompted many questions from visitors concerned about whether the animals are sick or carrying mold, zoo official Masami Kurobe said Sunday.
“Visitors seem to be shocked by the color, and we are asked every day why they are so green,” he said.
High temperatures in July and August and less-frequent water changes because of the zoo’s conservation efforts caused an algae growth in the bear pond and safety moat, Kurobe said.
Algae that enters hollow spaces in the bears’ fur is hard to rinse off, he said.
The bears are expected to return to their natural color when the algae growth subsides in November, Kurobe said.
Who Wears The Pants?
Mike was going to be married to Karen. So his father sat him down for a little chat.
Father said, “Mike, let me tell you something. On my wedding night in our honeymoon suite, I took off my pants, handed them to your mother” and said, “Here – try these on.”
She did and said, “These are too big. I can’t wear them.”
I replied,” Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will.”
Ever since that night, we have never had any problems.
“Hmmm,” said Mike. He thought that might be a good thing to try.
On his honeymoon, Mike took off his pants and said to Karen,”Here – try these on.”
She tried them on and said, “These are too large. They don’ t fit me.”
Mike said, “Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will. I don’t want you to ever forget that.”
Then Karen took off her pants and handed them to Mike. She said,”Here- you try on mine.”
He did and said, “I can’t get into your pants.”
Karen said, “Exactly. And if you don’t change your smart-ass attitude, you never will.”
