I thought you would ask. You should be scared indeed...no...no knife in the back...no...not in front either.

It is still my old plan : save my money long enough so I can by a Russian thermonuclear warhead. I think 10,000 $ should do. :D Say solar, are there any direct flights from Russia to Phily? :D

Oh is that all! What a relief! Nah Russia will probably sell them for about US$10 or so, not 10 thousand. I mean come on, Siberia is filling up with these things fast. Anyway, your plan won't work. Airport security is tough these days. On Friday at the airport the zipper on my pants set off the metal detector. How uncool is that.

In Phil, yes, you silly. :rolleyes: But I never planned to get passed there.

Don't you know thermonuclear weapons are more effective if not detonated at ground level but in mid air? A simple air pressure sensor combination could detect when the plane is near the airport at Phily as when an airplane is landing, air pressure increases. Detecting this and setting an event at the optimum altitude/distance from Phily could achieve mid-air detonation of my multi-megaton 10$ nuclear warhead. As you see, I've spend some time planning this kind of things. All I have to do is hope that for 10$ the lousy thing also works. Maybe if I buy 5 warheads and puzzle the best parts together I can get 1 working one. :D

Yes, I knew that about nukes, I thought maybe you were going to take it to my house and give it to me to detonate it myself - you seem to think I am the dumbest CodeGuru, remember? Anyway, that sounds like a good plan. But the cabin is pressurized, and I think the cargo bay is too. So you wouldn't be able to detect pressure differences. Even if you could, differences in air pressure (perceived as turbulence) would have a much greater effect on it than an altitude of a couple feet or so, meaning it might set off while it is still a mile outside of the airport, not to mention several more miles away from downtown... so it would only decimate part of the city. But hey, you get what you pay for. Besides, who said where in the city I live? Or that I even do live in the city?

You forget that inside the pressure cabin the pressure in the craft is reduced to about one third of the ground atmospheric pressure to accomodate for the lower pressure at high altitudes. You can detect this and this also dampens out effects of turbulence.

I'm hoping I can get a multi-megaton warhead, so a mile or two off wouldn't cause that much problems. Say solarflare, where exactly do you live? No reason in particular. ;) :p :cool:

And you expect to buy it for ten bucks???? No, no, Simon! The Russians wouldn't give up something like that so easily. Nah, you'd need at least $15 for such an item.

No reason? Oh come on, you can admit it if you want. You want to come over to my house and have a meal with me, get to know me, be friendly, etc. cuz I'm such a good guy. Well if you must know, I live on 123 Fake St., USA.

I think I already have 15$. If you happen to see a bright white flash real soon, it is probably not going to be someone taking a picture of you. :D Well, maybe an X-Ray picture on the wall behind you. :p

Hmmm...123. Something tells me this is the safety combination of your vault or suitcase or so. :p Some extra small cash for me for buying that warhead.

1...2...3...4...5... That's the kind of combination an idiot would have on his luggage!

I know that is from Space Balls. That's why I said that line but not the quote as it would be 12345 instead of the 123 you gave. Nice to see you remember that one too. That was a good one. :D :cool:

I figured that your quote was a reference to Spaceballs but I wanted to confirm it ;). I don't think there was a minute of that movie that wasn't memoriable.
