Re: What's Going on in the Americas?

I seem to remember saying, in another thread, that Josh should step away from the vodka-- he'd obviously had too much, or words to that effect. I now have it on the very best authority that certain Americans would do well to step away from the Kentucky Bourbon, they've had too much as well.
As proof, I present to you exhibit A. Some genius has come up with the idea that America needs a new/old weapon, a weapon of extreme biological warfare. Of course, I refer to Godzilla.
The idea, as near as I could make out from the story, is to study Godzilla from the old Japanese horror-monster movies, create him, then unleash him on our enemies. He could march on the enemy encampment, spreading nuclear death-rays as he advances and causing the enemy to shout "Hey, Godzilla, Tokyo is
that way." Then, they run in terror as the giant lizard vaporizes their tanks.
Problem: How to keep Godzilla from turning on his "masters" and tearing up an American outpost? The big lizard might not understand that we're his "friends" and that could make for a real battlefield problem. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

What would happen if a large asteroid slammed into the Earth?
According to several tests involving a watermelon and a large hammer, it would be really bad!
