fpj451,

Thanks for the quote from the book. For the sake of discussion, if it was a nuclear bomb, why didn't Bradbury plainly say so? Surely was capable of plainly writing that if that was his intention.

Best Wishes.

Ok guys. Here's a riddle for you that I heard Bono and his U2 mates talk about. The riddle is this.

"How do you dismantle an atomic bomb?"

Answer to follow after a few of you give some guesses.

Best Wishes.

philnic,

Carefully for sure, but not the correct answer to the riddle.

Anyone else care to guess?

You mean, like in Ferris?

Then it must be the song Bueller sings:

~Shake it up Baby, Twist and Shout!~

That's how you dismantle an Atomic Bomb.

Nard,

Ferris Bueller exactly! I was feeling like Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller's Day Off when he kept calling Bueller's name during role call, but nobody repsonded. By the way, I love that movie and Twist and Shout is my favorite Beatles song right up there with Norweigan Wood.

Back to the question.

According to Bono and his U2 band mates "How do you dismantle an atomic bomb?"

The answer: "With love."

I wonder if Bradbury would agree?
