Shoot me again...

Well cast! Thanks for this news. We well remember the lurid coverage at the time.

I should be shot for posting this. Nevertheless...

Happy anniversary!

It works. Wow!

Dang! Link does not work for me. P.S. This one does: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ It shows this! Mammatus Clouds Over Saskatchewan

Don't forget to eat your vegetables.

Like this one with Kenneth Nichols, Groves's no. 2 for the whole project: http://manhattanprojectvoices.org/oral-histories/general-kenneth-nichols-interview-part-1

I would be careful not read too much at any one sitting. But these interviews, more than a lot of other Manhattan Project stuff I've read, are a really engrossing firsthand look at what all it took to manage and drive and force to successful completion this huge, almost impossible scientific, engineering & industrial enterprise.

Here we go! First of a dozen interviews here with General Groves of the Army Corps of Engineers who ran and drove the entire Manhattan Project including picking Oppenheimer to run Los Alamos. A fascinating person: http://manhattanprojectvoices.org/oral-histories/general-leslie-grovess-interview-part-1

...Captain!

Neat site of oral histories of the Bomb project: http://manhattanprojectvoices.org/oral-histories/rose-bethes-interview That one linked above is with Rose Bethe, wife of Hans Bethe, physicist who ran the so-called Theoretical Division at Los Alamos (the other 3 divisions being Experimental Physics, Chemistry & Metallurgy, and Ordnance). In his career before and after Los Alamos, Bethe tossed off little bagatelles like figuring out how the sun works.

Grazie.

Some more debris would be helpful. And yeah, what does RA1 think of this battery-fire idea? Or otherwise?

Monty Python Releases Unseen ‘Grail’ AnimationNearly 14 minutes of lost footage released. The British comedy troupe’s Arthurian opus Monty Python and the Holy Grail turned the big four-oh this year, and to celebrate they’ve dumped an eye-searing pile of Terry Gilliam’s previously unseen animations from the project on YouTube. A highlight of the cult classic, the film’s absurdist interstitial cartoons still elicit coughing cackles from stoned college kids, snorts of appreciation from adults, and chortles of glee from children. The deleted clips are narrated by none other than Gilliam himself, whose dry humor—such as describing snails as fascinating yet “dumb, stupid pieces of meat”—hasn’t dulled. “But remember I’m not getting paid for this commentary so the low quality of information that you’re getting is the result of that,” Gilliam notes at one point. “If any of you would like to offer me money directly, I could give you a proper commentary. In fact, let me leave you my address and you can send me the money directly. It’s, um, oh, I can’t do that or else you’ll come around stalking me.” A special edition Blu-ray edition of Holy Grail will be released Oct. 27.

Curious now -- what smells funny to you about his scenario?
