Thanks zegh8578 - atomic bombs are beautiful things. Just don't drop them on people. But I do wonder how many birds, lizards, fish, and insects were burnt to a crisp during those tests.

its interesting to consider indeed,
also the sheer number of tests we have done over time
two humans have died as far as i know (japanese citizens, killed by american tests, oh the cruel irony) not to mention oh so many a poor dog, monkeys and cows

i am particularily fascinated w these old school tests, where they would simply stand there, unprotected, and gaze directly at the mushroom cloud they shoulda puffed some nice healthy tobacco while they were at it
