"Are 'Mini-Nukes' The New Big Thing?" (via WIReport)

That's right--kids across the nation are throwing out their Tickle Me Elmos and Tamagotchis and begging and pleading for the hottest gift of the holiday season--tac nukes!

I'm disturbed to see stories about massively powerful weapons systems given the same breathless sugar-spun headlines as entertainment-section fads. Especially backpack nukes. I highly recommend you all read The Curve of Binding Energy so that you can share my dread.
