Why Thermonuclear Weasel?

As we all know, every thing on the internet is either a meme, an inside joke, propaganda, or the crazed ravings of a lunatic. This is most likely all four. But why might I come up with something reminiscent of both a weapon of mass destruction and a cute and cuddly furry creature? Well, a few reasons.

Firstly, juxtaposition. Of course a small furry creature would be thermonuclear. Why not?

Secondly, nobody's going to mistake this blog for any other blog. Unless Iran has started experimenting with rodents, and even then I'd doubt this would be in English.

Thirdly, I made a joke the other night that somehow ended up being about irradiated weasels, and it's only a hop, skip, and a jump from irradiated to thermonuclear, so I figured I might as well.

Finally, the idea is just too darn cool to pass up.
