Non-Nuclear

The Russian government just built and tested the biggest bomb ever.

It is very weird that this is not front page news. Or in mainstream American news at all.

I spoke with my parallel history twin, and he says that in his timeline, everyone is in fallout shelters now because of this. Of course, he's also got a terrible, terrible haircut and seems to think it's the best thing ever. And don't even get me started about the zeppelins. Why does every parallel timeline have so many zeppelins?

The worst parallel universe I went to (or rather, the one built in worst taste*) was one where giant gray zeppelins with giant loudspeakers roamed the cities and blared... Well, you can probably guess: continuous Wham! songs. People had blocked it out so thoroughly that if they went into a particularly quiet room (say, underground) they would hear a negative version of the songs.

* It turns out parallel universes don't just happen, but are actually made by near-omnipotent lizards. And they're not parallel, either, but are arranged more like a crossword puzzle (which helps to explain how different universes can support each other without vicious circularity).
