| Dredge Rivers: <chillowack> I used the term <pompous know-it-all> because both of them thought their scientific expertise made them some sort of an oracle. If we'd followed their advice, tens or hundreds of thousands would have died in the invasion of Japan, and Stalin would have gotten the H-Bomb first. They both meant well, but Harry Truman knew more about the way the world actually works than both of them combined, and he was a country boy from Missouri. Food for thought. |

| Dredge Rivers: <Absentee>
That's much fewer than there would have been for a ground invasion. For those who wish to condem my fellow Missourian, Harry Truman, for deciding to drop the A-Bomb; ask youself these questions first: 1. Why did Japan start the war in the first place?
2. Why didn't they throw in the towel when it became hopeless? (Which happened at Iwo Jima, at the very latest.) And don't even try to play the race card! We'd have dropped the Bomb on Germany, but they collapsed too fast. Besides Truman was no racist; he integrated the Armed Forces, didn't he? I await a response. |

| WhiteRook48: 11...f6? 11...Be6 is a better defense. With 11...f6, Oppenheimer lets Einstein kill Black's pieces with the atom bomb. |

| kurtrichards: They are long dead but there will always be Einstein and Oppenheimer and their likes now and in the future. Genius minds will remain forever. Inventing this. Inventing that. Good intentions,good inventions. Bad intentions,bad inventions. Or their mix-up. There will always be stupids also. More of them. Genius and stupids a-plenty. But there is only one world. Our world. Where we live. Geniuses and stupids alike. Who wants to destroy it? Don't think. Feel.
Don't argue with me. Just feel. |

| theagenbiteofinwit: Who would have figured two such geniuses of science would play romantic chess. |

| JimmyVermeer: I'm not at all surprised that a man of Oppenheimer's high intellect would play such poor chess. I have seen men far smarter than myself lose chess games against special ed students. Nobody can be great at everything. Except maybe Chuck Norris, but that's another story. |

| PhilFeeley: What the heck is Chuck Norris great at - except for churning out bad movies and television? |

| blazerdoodle: Albert once claimed that he didn't understand chess, but perhaps he was being modest ? He was Lasker's best friend, wasn't he? |
|

| M.D. Wilson: Lasker and Einstein were good friends. |

| izimbra: Chuck Norris is kind of a running joke template on the internet c.f. http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/ (sample: "That's not Chuck Norris doing push-ups. That's Chuck Norris moving the Earth away from the path of a deadly asteroid." |

| HeMateMe: This might be the first ever reference of chuck Norris coupled with nuclear fusion or the splitting of the atom. |
|

 |
| KingG: Chuck Norris discovered nuclear fission while roundhouse kicking
the nucleus of an atom. Unfortunately every time he does this
his beard absorbs all the gamma rays leaving no free energy left. Also, Chuck Norris can split the atom. With his bare hands. |

| M.D. Wilson: Chuck Norris obeys the rules of quantum uncertainty: you never know when the next roundhouse kick is going to hit you. |
|

| M.D. Wilson: Werner Heisenberg was an excellent chess player. He used to play blindfold games while skiing with his students. |
