U.S. officials are weighing the safety of recovering a nuclear bomb dropped
in the Atlantic off the Georgia coast in 1958, CNN reported Tuesday.
Air Force officials said in July they suspected they had located the
7,600-pound, 12-foot-long thermonuclear bomb containing 400 pounds of high
explosives and uranium near Tybee Island using radiation detection gear.
Air Force spokesman Lt. Col. Frank Smolinsky said experts from the Air
Force, the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy were examining
the information and may decide soon to conduct their own tests with more
sophisticated equipment on the scene.
The Air Force has said the bomb was being used for practice and did not
contain the plutonium trigger needed for a nuclear explosion, and is
probably harmless if left where it is.
The United States lost 11 nuclear bombs in accidents during the Cold War
that were never recovered, according to the Brookings Institution, a
Washington think tank.

Non lo sapevi? Eppure anche tu sei un figlio della guerra fredda. A
quanto so ne mancano 11 USA e una cinquantina sovietiche. Che dire:
gente distratta! :-D

Approfitto dello spazio-nihil assicurato dal De Cesari per postare
un'interessante condizione fairy:
------------------------------------------
Impossible Chess
This variant was invented in January 2000 by Joao Pedro Neto.
  1.. The FIDE rules apply, except in the following:
  2.. A moved piece (except the King) can be transformed in any piece
(except the King), if and only if:
    1.. The result position is an impossible FIDE position, and
    2.. Some of the player's pieces must participate on it, i.e., the
position would become legal if the player's pieces were arranged in other
way on the board. There is one exception: if the piece changes color to
create the position, however this only counts for that specific turn.
  3.. A player looses, if he creates a possible board position.
The 'Not So Impossible Chess' variant: Change in rule 2.1 "impossible FIDE
position" by "possible FIDE position" and remove 2.2
note: When rule 2 says "any piece" this means that the piece may change its
color (and the player cannot move it anymore, since it now belongs to the
other player).
note: Rule 2.2 is necessary. If not, if a player creates an impossible
position, the other player would take advantage of it to play without
restrictions.
notation: move=x means that after 'move', the piece is transformed into
piece 'x'. If the piece also changes color, append an '^' symbol.
