There should be signs saying this on every street corner in the world.

Bowler James Anderson of England leaps for joy — or, possibly, just to block umpire Rudi Koertzen’s face from the camera.

OK, the world just got entirely too small

So I’ve just arrived on St. Vincent, an island I’ve never been to before and which I would still have a little trouble finding on a map.  I’m working and settling in and puttering around figuring out which power adapter goes into what, and finally I flip on the TV before bed.

And the very first face I see, on the channel the previous occupant of this room must have been watching, is somebody I just met for lunch, a friend of a friend.  She’s not famous, she’s not on TV all the time, if ever.  You’d have no idea who she is.  That’s what makes this so odd.

Eeny little planet this is.

The idea may sound surprising, given the presumption of overwhelming US firepower that somehow still survives. This flash animation helps explain why our nukes don’t necessarily trump their nukes, and our bunker-busters may not be able to bust their bunkers.  Although we’d kill vast numbers of people in the effort.
