The Wall
Wall made of plastic bottles to protect the USA | |
The USA seems extremely concerned about Iran and
nuclear weapons. The thing is, it seems to me, it only
becomes a problem if the weapon actually reaches the US.
There is a significant number of shipping containers which
have reached their end of life, and there is reputed to be a significant
island of plastic floating in the middle of the
ocean.
What the US should do, with assistance from Canada of
course, is build two continuous walls in the middle of the
Pacific and the Atlantic in the following way.
Weld Shipping containers shut..making them water tight.
Convert a nuclear powered aircraft carrier into a plastic
extrusion plant. Park this ship near the plastic pile.
Dredge said plastic, and convert to lego style building
block. Place block on Shipping container. Build wall.
Several shipping containers might have to be stacked to
form the base.
Build wall several kilometers high. This will ensure that
any missile will have to fly high enough to clear the wall,
and will give the relavant nations time for detection.

would this (the atlantic one) interfere with the gulf stream? |

of course, migrating birds would probably happily settle on a convenient stop off point for a bit of a breather. |

Trash talk, that's all this is. I'm not afraid of nothing,
and nobody. Except for the government, and some
other spooky agencies. |

That's right. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. |

No worry there - they don't exist ... |

For the Lard is with you ? |

You do realise that ICBMs go into space, right? Well, scratch that, clearly you don't. |
|
|
BHD....actually I do...you do realise that this was an
halfbaked idea, right? Should I have said several
hundred kilometers until we exhausted all the
shipping containers and plastic in the ocean? |
