Heh, anyone seen this article today on CNN?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Government experts are investigating a claim that an unarmed nuclear bomb, lost off the Georgia coast at the height of the Cold War, might have been found, an Air Force spokesman said Monday.

The hydrogen bomb was lost in the Atlantic Ocean in 1958 following a collision of a B-47 bomber and an F-86 fighter.

A group led by retired Air Force Lt. Col. Derek Duke of Statesboro, Georgia, said in July that it had found a large object underwater near Savannah that was emitting high levels of radioactivity, according to an Associated Press report.

The group said it used radiation and metal detection equipment to search an area in Wassaw Sound off Tybee Island where the bomb reportedly was dropped, the AP reported.



I dunno what scares me more, that they actually LOST a NUKE or that they actually didnt find it for over 45yrs!!!!

Oh yeah, do we really wanna dive into the "low country boil" ???
 
ok, but I think the low country boil is off my eating choices ;) I'll have me some good old fashioned steak or pork please (y)
 
Glow in the dark shrimp sounds interesting! So do I need to bring some radioactivity exposure badges from the cancer unit down with me??? I mean I know Halloween is coming but not everybody needs to be a little green man!!

LOL
