Nuclear Tests

REDMOND (BNN)--World leaders reacted with stunned silence
as
Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) conducted an underground nuclear test
at a
secret facility in eastern Washington state. The device,
exploded
at 9:22 am PDT (1622 GMT/12:22 pm EDT) today, was timed to
coincide
with talks between Microsoft and the US Department of
Justice over
possible antitrust action.

"Microsoft is going to defend its right to market its
products by any
and all necessary means," said Microsoft CEO Bill Gates.
"Not that
I'm anti-government" he continued, "but there would be few
tears shed
in the computer industry if Washington were engulfed in a
bath of nuclear
fire."

Scientists pegged the explosion at around 100 kilotons. "I
nearly dropped
my latte when I saw the seismometer" explained University of
Washington g
eophysicist Dr. Whoops Blammover, "At first I thought it was
Mt. Rainier,
and I was thinking, damn, there goes the mountain bike
vacation."

In Washington, President Bush announced the US Government
would
boycott all Microsoft products indefinitely. Minutes later,
the President
reversed his decision. "We've tried sanctions since
lunchtime, and they
don't work," said the President. Instead, the administration
will initiate a
policy of "constructive engagement" with Microsoft.

Microsoft's Chief Technology Officer Nathan Myrhvold said
the test
justified Microsoft's recent acquisition of the Hanford
Nuclear Reservation
from the US Government. Not only did Microsoft acquire
"kilograms of
weapons grade plutonium" in the deal, said Myrhvold, "but
we've finally found
a place to dump those millions of unsold copies of Microsoft
Bob." Myrhvold
warned users not to replace Microsoft NT products with rival
operating systems.
"I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of a
radioisotope thermoelectric
generator inside of every Pentium IV microprocessor," said
Myrhvold, "but
anyone who installs an OS written by a bunch of long-hairs
on the Internet
is going to get what

they deserve."

The existence of an RTG in each Pentium II microprocessor
would explain
why the microprocessors, made by the Intel Corporation, run
so hot. The
Intel chips "put out more heat than they draw in electrical
power" said
Prof. E. Thymes of MIT. "This should finally dispell those
stories about
cold fusion."

Rumors suggest a second weapons development project is
underway in California,
headed by Microsoft rival Sun Microsystems. "They're doing
all of the
development work in Java," said one source close to the
project. The development
of a delivery system is said to be holding up progress.
"Write once, bomb
anywhere is still a dream at the moment."

Meanwhile, in Cupertino, California, Apple interim-CEO Steve
Jobs was rumored
to be in discussion with Oracle CEO Larry Ellison about
deploying Apple's Newton
technology against Microsoft. "Newton was the biggest bomb
the Valley has
developed in years," said one hardware engineer. "I'd hate
to be around when
they drop that product a second time."

please describe size 16 poop shoot. is this in reference to
another object that is measured in sizes, or do all poop
shoots have measurements...

test.
