"Penetrating deep into the ground it produced, after a predetermined nine second interval, a massive explosion which generated the desired artificial earthquake - and created a 70 foot deep 130 foot diameter crater. It was the biggest bomb ever dropped on Britain before or since."

Wow, nine seconds would seem like an eternity if you watched one of these land a few hundred yards away: you'd be convinced you'd got away with it.

Ted always names his property,... he bought this at an army surplus auction and named it Mr. Johnson...

he can’t understand the funny looks he gets, when he tells people how big his Johnson is.
