You may recall an amusing series of comments on the subject of Iranian Nukes:
You can imagine the joy of all that were gathered, when Ahmadinejad shared that Iran no longer has to depend on foreign oil for their Energy, and now can rely on Nuclear Energy for their electric power. It will be a real relief on their economy.
… oh wait… they have all the oil. What do they need nuclear power for?
… oh wait… nevermind.
The-Evil-Doctor-Merlin-Channing-Lowe-Jr. brought up a good point, in his analysis:
You have to follow their logic through fully to understand their desperate need for nukes.
1) Iran has oil
2) Iran needs to burn the oil to get energy
3) Iran can’t see in the dark to light the oil
4) Iran will use the enriched uranium to create glow in the dark snap sticks.
5) Iran will use these glow in the dark snap sticks to illuminate their way to light the oil at night.
I mean, come on. Anyone can see the dire need of Iran to have glow in the dark snap sticks. And I bet if we ask them, they’d be happy to send us a few hundred thousand of those snap sticks for us to use. They say they have developed a special delivery device that is faster than Fed-Ex, something called a mis-sile. Personally, I expect the “missiles” to become the mail delivery service of the future.
And you’ve got to admit that glow in the dark snap sticks are pretty cool. Who wouldn’t want to enrich uranium to make some?
Well, Chan, IowaHawk beat you, and Iran, to the punch!
