1. The US Navy still uses World War II era battleships

2. If caught in a lightning storm in Seattle, you should stand under the Space Needle.

3. US Navy Lieutenant Commanders are okay with being repeatedly referred to as Lieutenants.

4. When in charge of coordinating operations in the event of a disaster, it's perfectly acceptable to leave the safety of millions in the hands of incompetents and go look for your kids.

5. The "Disaster Management Agency" coordinates military operations and is in charge of calling in air strikes.

6. When analyzing the a possible alien craft and strange chemical compounds, make sure you have some high school students and an elderly Soviet scientist available to provide expertise.

7. Apparently psychological testing is not part of the hiring process for senior "Disaster Management Agency" personnel.

8. Security is so effective in "Disaster Management Agency" field headquarters that an old man with a Geiger counter can walk around for hours unmolested by anyone.

9. Science has evolved in the past 40 years.

10. There are some HOT scientists working over at NASA.

11. It's what's going on underneath our feet that causes most of our problems.

To be fair there's rarely lightning in Seattle, so people may believe they should stand under the Space Needle.

12. None of us attended the kind of really cool chemistry class available in small pockets of the country.

Bravo, minderbinder, I laughed so hard.

13. A teenager can figure out how to save the world before her scientist parents.

14. The sidewalk is a safe way to drive out of the way of danger.

15. People are dumb enough to get in a helicopter during a lightening/tornado storm even if they think it is the best way to transfer the water.

16. Putting nuclear weaopons in outer space is the safest way to get rid of them, until they return to earth decades later.

In all fairness, Tash, it wasn't a nuclear weapon that Dmitri and pals had put up there ... but every one of your points made me laugh.

Great thread!
