Not that they'd shoot first at the ones with the furr-in names

Yeah: Fuck the
DHS. Care to explain why those are not of use to terrorists.
For that matter a
cookery book is of use to a terrorist (presumably they have to eat
sometime...)
Last winter I read Nigel Slater's "Toast" and learned a tremendous
amount about English cooking and boyhood. My word, it's different
over there!

Define "work". If your intent is to simply spread the dust of some
highly radioactive industrial waste around a city, you don't
need fission, fusion, a surplus computer or even a bucket.
