I hope anyone who talks on the phone in a public bathroom drops their phone in their pile.....I find that almost as annoying as when the person in front of me at the checkout is on the phone while the cashier is trying to talk to them.
People need punched. Too bad its illegal these days for the most part.

I'll nerd out here. While there have been 32 "lost" that doesn't mean they don't know where they went. These incidents, called Broken Arrows, include nukes that went down in flight (nukes on airplanes, not missiles) or damaged. Many of the broken arrows happened during flight when aircraft crashed or submarines sunk etc. I believe there are around 6 nukes the USA has actually lost that can't be accounted for.

How do you lose even one that can't be accounted for?

If I remember right I have a 500 lb Mk-82 bomb off of a A-10 that crashed south of I-70 a number of years ago. The Air Force searched for a couple of years for it. They found one of them but not the second. They even brought in divers to check out the lakes in the areas where the plane crashed. They came up with a lot of the 30mm depleted uranium rounds for the cannon but that second bomb is still up in the hills somewhere. Officially it is unaccounted for since they don't believe that it blew up but they just can't find it.

That's not true they have only lost 6 nuclear warheads. Which is still pretty bad.

There is an organization that tracks nuclear weapons and they believe there are thousands, mostly from when the Soviet union collapsed.
