2. Step 1: Get your g-string on and start waxing.
No, wait, other way around.

3. Get a rad badge
Don't let a kid take it to school for show and tell.

Counters always stopping at 001 only happens in movies.

Don't start pressing buttons to see "what this one does".

Not a good idea to use it as a night light.

Nukes can have a ZTD (zone of total destruction) anywhere from a half mile to two miles. So if you're planning to use it as a garden center piece, have a really, really big yard.

9. Make sure you keep it in a Ziploc.
Those things can go bad on you real quick.

10. It would be an awesome centerpiece at Burning Man
http://www.burningman.com

You could wire it to a slot machine. Spin three :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: and set it off.

Anyone can pull the handle.

17. Really?
I thought it's only outside the US where youtube videos are censored ... It's the scene from 'Dark Star' where they talk to the bomb to not explode.

20. And in addition to the darkness there was also me. And I moved upon the face of the darkness.
And I saw that I was alone. Let there be light.

More Husserl and Heidegger, and the bomb itself might have disarmed, crawled into the storage place and wept ... :)

22. LOL!
Well, yes ... At least I didn't bring Wittgenstein into it. Or Hegel, but he's busy arguing.

Not to bring Beckenbauer into it ... :hide:
