NRA Introduces Open Carry for Nukes Bill

The National Rifle Association has sponsored legislation in the U.S. Senate that would allow open carry of tactical and strategic nuclear weapons with a yield of 1 megaton and less.  In a press briefing, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stated, "Our NRA overlords have indicated that the only thing that will stop a bad guy with a nuke, is a good guy with a nuke.  We have no reason to question that."  Moderate Senate Republicans have signaled concerns that 1 megatons was too high of a threshold, and that they would want to lower the maximum yield to 150 kilotons.  "We feel that limiting the size of personally owned nuclear weapons to 10 times the size of the Hiroshima bomb is a reasonable compromise," said Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine).  Wayne LaPierre of the NRA argued that limiting the size of open carry nukes would be as dangerous to the nation as limiting the size of assault rifle magazines, and would be a slippery slope to outright repeal of the Second Ammendment.

Google Deploys Robotic Middle Finger on Autonomous Vehicles

Tech giant and driver-less car pioneer Google announced that it will be deploying robotic middle fingers on all of its autonomous vehicles.  The deployments will begin in New York, followed by Detroit, Washington D.C.; and then proceed to less hostile driving environments.  The company realized that its current fleet of autonomous vehicles had no way of displaying displeasure or anger when cut-off, tailgated, or for any other rude and generally ass-holey actions.  The middle fingers will have two speed settings.  The "instant" setting will employ a spring mechanism that will rapidly deploy the finger for situations that require quick reaction.  The "slow and steady" setting will feature the driver side window slowly rolling down while the middle finger simultaneously extends out the car towards the offending vehicle.  A camera in the middle finger will record the other driver's reactions, and sophisticated facial recognition software will interpret the reac...
