My rat-lasagna is epic.

Let's just hope we'll never find out.

I don't think that a big country with a big arsenal would survive a nuclear exchange with the U.S. in any relevant sense.

I don't know, the idea of a nation heavily loaded with nukes getting invaded just seems far-fetched. Why do you think many other countries want those too?

No, it's not and I bet you a dollar they will carry weaponry long before they 'll carry environmental monitoring instruments.

While scientists still struggle to understand the phenomenon and to…

Gotta love science. And what a promising finding.

There, I settled it for you:

I'm sure I will. Don't know any of them, except the Mignola, which is one of my favorite Batmans ever.

Now there's a useful list. Much appreciated, gonna hunt those down.
