% The captain sets a course for "Hidden Pirate Island," which is also
% called "Hong Kong." Homer desperately calls the Coast Guard for
% assistance.

Homer: Help! Pirates!

Coast Guard: Navy SEALs are on the way.

Homer: Oh, bless you.

Coast Guard: How about a tactical nuclear strike?

Homer: Oh, that would be just ... [realizes] oh, you're just yanking my chain, aren't you?

Coast Guard: Perhaps this foghorn will answer your question. [foghorn makes the "mwah-mwaaaah" sound]

% While Burns is extricated from the scanner, Homer drives one of the
% old man's cars to Moe's Tavern.

Homer: Having a party, Moe. I'll need four kegs of your finest imported-sounding beer.

Moe: How 'bout Tuborg -- the beer of Danish kings.

Homer: Mmmm ... danish.

Moe: Now you know I can't sell you no beer until 2 p.m. on account of it's Sunday.

Homer: Huh? If you can't sell beer what are Lenny and Carl doing here?

Carl: Huh? Oh, we're just watching the sun move across the sky. [points to a sunbeam shining through the door window onto the tavern floor. A line labeled "Drinking Time" is inscribed on the floor]

Lenny: When it gets to here, [indicates the line] we can drink again.

Homer: But I need that beer now!

Moe: Sorry, 2 p.m. Or you can steal a boat and sail out to international waters, heh.

Homer: What's that, a theme park?

Moe: No, the ocean. Once you get twelve miles out, there's no laws at all.

Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) is a ballistic missile payload containing several warheads, each capable of hitting one of a group of targets.


Purpose

The military purpose of a MIRV is fourfold:

Providing greater target damage for a given ballistic missile payload. Radiation (including radiated heat) from a nuclear warhead diminishes as the square of the distance (called the inverse-square law), and blast pressure diminishes as the cube of the distance. For example at a distance of 4 km from ground zero, the blast pressure is only 1/64th that of 1 km. Due to these effects several small warheads cause much more target damage area than a single large one.

W88

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The W88 is a United States thermonuclear warhead, with an estimated yield of 475 kilotons (kt), and is small enough to fit on MIRVed missiles.
