The real name of the thing is "Mother Of All Bombs"... I wonder if they gave credit for the name to Saddam

Just saw that Colin crossposted with me on this.....

oh well

I like the title of your thread better though :bwave:

Me too!

I heard a BOOM

Just thought it was this dit im on

:lol:

I was going to sing:

I like big bombs and I cannot lie... all you other brothers...


But I'm just going to say I like the sound of this bomb :okthumb: :okthumb:

:rokk:

I watched the video on it last night on cnn...... Of course without something to put it in perspective (person alongside blast or something) the video didn't do it justice... You couldn't tell how big it actually was, kind of like looking at pictures of the grand canyon, you can't appreciate it until you see it up close and personal....


But the reports indicated it was a big fucking blast.......

I love things that go BOOOOOOOMMMMM

sorry, can't help it, I mean I am a guy, ya know.........

I saw the video and thought it looked like Hollywood movie magic! lol You know...like in Austin Powers when Dr. Evil threatened to blow up the White House and showed a clip from Independence Day.

Yeah....like that! lol

:yowsa:

Wasn't this a song by AC-DC??

I like big bombs:

I'm upper, upper class high society
God's gift to bombroom notoriety
And I always fill my bombroom
The event is never small
All the social papers say I've got the biggest bombs of all

CHORUS
I've got big bombs
I've got big bombs
And they're such big bombs
Dirty big bombs
And he's got big bombs,
And she's got big bombs,
But we've got the biggest bombs of them all!

And my bombs are always bouncing
My bombroom always full
And everybody comes and comes again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got great bombs of fire!

CHORUS

Some bombs are dropped for charity
And some for favorable press
But when they're dropped for pleasure,
They're the bombs that I like best.
And my bombs are always bouncing,
To the left and to the right.
It's my belief that my big bombs should be dropped every night.

CHORUS

And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh, we have such wonderful fun
Saddam cocktail
Jihads
Camel poop

My dad's been talking about that bomb all day. Said it's also designed to set off all land mines in the area of detonation, so it's not only anti-personnel, it's a pre-invasion tool.

He was saying that he heard it wouldn't be ready in time for Iraq, though.
Supposedly they tested the only one they have. Seems unlikely to me that it wouldn't be ready, though.
