"Finish this sentence" re: nukes, exams, and Cabell's post

[perldiver]

So, I was reading Cabell's post about exam dreams and nuclear bomb warnings and it made me think of the following game.

Complete this sentence in a way that is true for you:

 

I am a school principal, final exams are happening now, and I receive a call saying that there might be a nuclear bomb in the city.  I would....

Here's my completion:

....kick back and surf the net.  If the bomb is real and goes off, none of us will ever know.  In any other case, why panic?  Besides, I had to sit through sixteen friggin' years of exams.  This crop of school kids should share my pain.

What sort of nuke do you think would get detonated in an American city nowadays? I'm not nuclear engineer, but from what I can tell reading online, yields in the 100kt area and higher are only possible with fusion bombs, not fission bombs. Is anybody with fusion bomb technology mad at us?

Dude, let it go. Both DocOrion and I were treating this as a throwaway joke, not a debate about the politics and science of nuclear terrorism.
