I used to use ol' Slim Pickens ridin' in the bomb for an avatar pict.

Heard a factoid earlier that I didn't know. Sellers was originally going to play Maj. Kong, too.

We studied Dr Strangelove in Philosophy while covering ethics. Basically showing how the rituals of the flight crew shielded them from any ethical dilemma of dropping nukes on people.

 

counterpoint: A fella could have a pretty good time in Vegas with all that stuff.

George C. Scott as Gen. "Buck" Turgidson was a genius stroke of against-type casting, and he played it perfectly.

His description of a B-52 flying under radar was glorious. Frying chickens in the barnyard! Has he got a chance?

I didn't get the mine gap debate.  Don't they have about 15 minutes to get underground? 

I was also confused by Slim Pickens riding the nuclear missile/bomb as it dropped from his bomber.  That seems implausible.
