Things that make you go BOOM!

Doe_test_ableSo the Department of Energy has just released a bunch of films documenting nuclear bomb tests throughout the 40s 50s and 60s. And they are pretty darned cool. And pretty darned terrifying. But the names are the best. Check out operation "Nougat and Gnome," operation "Sedan," "Hardtack" "Wigwam" or "Teapot." It sounds like they've all got Mr. Moviefone doing the voice-overs, too. Bonus. (Thanks Will).

"See no evil" and "hear no evil" appear to be striking fairly sensible poses.

No wonder "Speak no evil" is looking surprised....
