That fateful day...

As some may have heard via news or word-of-mouth, there was an unexploded German WWII bomb unearthed in Coventry. This prompted the evacuation of most of the city centre and/or retail sites. I salute the ineptness of the local authorities in their dire handling of the situation. In my mind, I see the disarmament and removal of such a devise to be quite a simple thing, though, apparently this was not the case.

I have estimated - from the ridiculously large police blockade - that the bombs killzone would have been something like the below:

ZOMGZ!

That's a hell of a lot of retail vaporised when this epic bomb could have gone off. The denizens of the fair city of Coventry all breathed a sigh of relief when that bad boy was taken away.

I'm clearly being facetious here. If this bomb had gone off, the damage to the city would have probably resulted in a financially positive figure - it was also non-nuclear, just to clear up any confusion with the map above - we wouldn't want to confuse any straying Americans now. To continue my satire of this - to be honest - amusing event, I have rendered a reconstruction of the scene, where the builders found said Nazi explosive unit:

Clearly a distressing scene...

In other news; I am still working on the new site - I don't want to publish anything unfinished (-he says, glancing at the image above...) so I am working on getting the site ready for full use, even though I know in my heart of hearts, that no bugger will visit it. All of this is still hampered by my coursework, of which I still have 2 to hand in, and its all going very well. Wait. I mean 'bad'. Yes... bad.

My interesting fact of the day: Post-it notes - though seemingly so - are not perfectly square.
