Report of BOMB investigation
I deliberately chose a time when few Explorers would be in the Cavern to investigate this OHBomination.* I packed my analytic toolkit and linked to the Neighborhood.
When I arrived, the BOMB was ticking to itself. I seemed to have arrived near the end of the count:
"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three..."
I waited to see what would happen.
"Three and three quarters... Three and five eighths..."
Could it be that this BOMB was turning back from the precipice? Oh, that this had been built into the billions of other bombs our weary world has seen.
"I"m serious! I'm a bomb!"
"Yes, and I'll call you Zeno."
The BOMB was standing near the light garden. In appearance, an ordinary U.S. male, somewhat pudgy. I walked over to it/him and tapped on the glass.
"Oh, don't do that! You've gotten me all flustered. Now I'll have to start over."
Was there some relief in its voice?
More experiments resulted in similar results: any interruption or stimulation caused a reset, and the BOMB would start counting down from 1000. I asked if it knew any songs about beer bottles, but the response was just to tell me to go away. If this really is a prototype for bomb control and activation software, I'd say bring it on. Make it mandatory in all the world's arsenals. Neurotic bombs would save a lot of lives.
Can we bring this to the attention of the OHBama Administration?
*I realize OHB really had nothing to do with the BOMB, but this was irresistible. I hope OHB will forgive me.
