Picture of the day

Castle Bravo was the first in a series of high-yield thermonuclear-weapon design tests conducted by the United States at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, as part of Operation Castle. Detonated on March 1, 1954, the device was the most powerful nuclear device detonated by the United States and the first lithium deuteride–fueled thermonuclear weapon tested using the Teller–Ulam design. Castle Bravo's yield was 15 megatonnes of TNT (63 petajoules), 2.5 times the predicted 6 megatonnes of TNT (25 petajoules), due to unforeseen additional reactions involving lithium-7, which led to radioactive contamination in the surrounding area. This photograph shows the Castle Bravo nuclear device, known as SHRIMP, in its shot cab.Photograph credit: United States Atomic Energy Commission; restored by Bammesk

• I think you are completely missing the point in autograph pages. The purpose is not to make it long, it is to collect signatures of friendly Wikipedians. If you are trying to make the longest, then you are completely missing the point. But I'll sign anyway. Would you sign mine, please? ;-) ANNAfoxlover 00:51, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
• I came here to tell you that I have a strict rule against signing autograph pages. They do not help the encyclopedia, and they are a distraction from more important things, and I would never do something as silly as place my autograph on a page like this. But whoops ... here I am writing on this page, so I am going to have to sign my comment, and so after all you wind up with the autograph of ... Newyorkbrad 01:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
