It's not the nuclear missiles to blame for the threat of mutual assured destruction, it's all that the fault of Gene Hackman, Denzel Washington and the rest of that nuclear sub crew.

Bio-fuel monster truck car crushers!
Those bastards!

I read a lot. Both books and online. I bought a Kindle just because of the better ebook fonts.

Maybe the patent is under Method for "Sinking a large ship with a container of rocket fuel."
Landing a rocket on a boat doesn't look like the wisest way to move rocket technology forward.
How about landing the rocket in the water next to the boat.

...the least our overlords can do is pitch in on building the databases our overlords are going to store all that crap they recorded about us.
