Cirincione: We have 23,000 nuclear weapons. It takes about 100 weapons to blow up the world, so several thousand times. Several thousand times?!? If it takes 100 weapons to blow up the world, and we have 23,000 nuclear weapons, that's 230 times, not "several thousand". Colbert: How many times can we destroy the world over right now?

Several thousand times?!? If it takes 100 weapons to blow up the world, and we have 23,000 nuclear weapons, that’s 230 times, not “several thousand”.

Two, I often think of that post you wrote about MJ. I generally agree with MJ's approach. Tiger is keeping quite but did he already make a mistake by admitting to "transgressions"? It seems that the media does not even need him to speak as there are so many women coming forward. I guess when that is over the story will start to die if he does not add to it. Two comments:
