Crazyness from the US
I was reading Slashdot, as you do, when I came accross two hilarious things.
The first was a comment where somebody pointed out that if you take the famous line "Somebody set up us the bomb" backwards, you get pretty much "Bomb the US, upset somebody."
The second, is a Slashdot article about how in the 60's, the secret unlock code on all the minuteman nuclear ICBMs was set to... 00000000. Apparently this was to prevent the unlock code from interfering the launch of the nuclear missile, in case the order to launch it was given.
