Bomb-A-City

This is a "game", if you will, that a post-doc in my lab found today. FAS gives it the catchy name Bomb-A-City. Basically, you input your city, method of delivery, and tonnage of nuclear weapon, and the Bomb-A-City calculator shows you a map of what the destruction would be. Useful for, you know, all those arguments you get into at parties about what the total incineration radius would be of a 2 megaton nuclear weapon detonated one mile above Reno. Note the odd inclusion and exclusion of certain cities from the pop-up menu...

This is fucking weird.
