Topic: Is a doomsday device a good idea/thing?
Um. Actually, in the early 60's or late 50's (I think) the Soviet Union actually constructed one. It is about a 50-megaton cobalt bomb. A radio signal must be recieved continuously from Moscow or th bomb goes off and blankets the earth in radioactive cobalt. Check it out. I believe the device was the inspiration foe the Stanley Kubric film. There is no way to shut it off. No failsafe. It ought to keepn all of usn awake at night.
