That is no bad thing Cyn. It is one of the 20th century's greatest songs, wouldn't you say?
And just maybe, when they get round to doing a heart of darkness (or lack thereof) on the new, improved gulf war we can get the 49th cavalry riding in on their choppers to Here Comes the Sun (Its alright) instead of Ride of the Valkyries (see separate rant on WAR thread).

One big M*therf*cker:
According to the BBC website (fount of all knowledge, especially when it comes to ordnance):
"The Moab is an American experimental precision-guided bomb weighing about 21,000lbs (9,525kgs) - the largest non-nuclear weapon there is. "
"It is so big it can be "launched" only by pushing it out of the open back door of a C-130 type transport plane on a sled, which falls away."
"Moab stands for Massive Ordnance Air Blast - it is detonated above ground for maximum impact over a wide area. "
It COULD also stand for Mother Of All Bombs...ie it's just another way of killing and maiming

Knew you'd be pleased...

You don't know my brain...it is a trrrible thing to taste. When ever someone says a word that's even familiar in a song that song gets stuck in my head and I have to sing it an the patients look at me like I'm insane. Recentley had a patient who was a writer who actually asked me to explain this to him great now I'm a topic fot his nex book...

I'd prefer Strange Day by the Cure

Isabel looks angry enough. Estimated to hit North Carolina by tomorrow. They sure look awesome and powerful when shot from a satelite. I can only imagine what it's like directly beneath one.
