"A panel of medical experts has just released its assessment of the technologies and therapies that could be rolled out if a home-made nuclear bomb was ever detonated in the heart of an American city." The main therapy they seem to advocate here is "cowering in the basement," so I'm not exactly optimistic. I can barely even get down there to do the laundry; can you imagine what it would be like after a nuke?

My ex lives in the same building as me and is, well, not a person I like. It would be difficult to choose whether to throw him out into the streets from the basement or just walk the irradiated streets on my own, just to avoid having to see his face.
This all-the-people-in-the-building-gonna-be-down-there apprehension is EXACTLY what i thought too. Damned if you do, damned if you don't it seems. Plus, in my building's old basement you're just as likely to be poisoned by exposure to the contents of the super's "special room" as fallout.
Yeah, but how safe are we from the resultant zombies from Arlington?
Enough with your antizombie bigotry. The walking undead are herbivores. Still, if your basement is also your wine cellar, invite me over for some cowering.
The article fails to tell us what to do about all the centipedes and waterbugs in the basement!
Lunch?
In that case they also failed to mention what kind of wine goes with invertebrates.
Dude. Both my apartment and office are in that angry red area. NOT COOL.
Also, even now, we are not safe from the zombies of Arlington.
Does the article explain how the bomb maker gets the fallout pattern penis shaped? Are there other shapes available?
We are living in a wang of destruction.
And evidently, the Eternal Flame is located in the balls.
I spent my entire childhood obsessing over this sort of thing and I really don't care anymore. Homemade nukes? Fearing that shit is for babies. Of course I hear a batch of proper Soviet nukes are about to hit the market...still, I've got a dvr full of stuff to watch. Wake me when the Germans get to the Meuse again.
Thermonuclear Annihilation Anxiety Nostalgia.
Because "Stay in the basement" is clearly superior to that antiquated "Duck and cover" trollop.
In your face turtle.
