Damn Doug, I think you single handedly scared everyone off the list! 
Friday night, no new posts since yours. Hrmmmm... 

Kong: Switch in backup circuits.
Bombardier: Roger. Backup circuits switched in, still negative function.
Kong: Engage emergency power.
Bombardier: Roger. Emergency power on. Still negative function.
Kong: Operate manual override!
Bombardier: Roger. Ah... still negative function. The teleflex drive
cable must be sheared away.
Kong: Fire the explosive bolts!
Bombardier: Roger. Um... still negative, sir. The operating circuits are
dead, sir.

No wonder there is no message traffic. 

Muffley: Well I... I would hate to have to decide.. who stays up and..
who goes down.

Strangelove: Well, that would not be necessary Mr. President. It could
easily be accomplished with a computer. And a computer could be set and
programmed to accept factors from youth, health, sexual fertility,
intelligence, and a cross section of necessary skills. Of course it
would be absolutely vital that our top government and military men be
included to foster and impart the required principles of leadership and
tradition. Slams down left fist. Right arm rises in stiff Nazi salute.
Arrrrr! Restrains right arm with left. Naturally, they would breed
prodigiously, eh? There would be much time, and little to do. But ah
with the proper breeding techniques and a ratio of say, ten females to
each male, I would guess that they could then work their way back to the
present gross national product within say, twenty years.

Muffley: But look here doctor, wouldn't this nucleus of survivors be so
grief stricken and anguished that they'd, well, envy the dead and not
want to go on living?

Strangelove: No sir... Right arm rolls his wheelchair backwards. Excuse
me. Struggles with wayward right arm, ultimately subduing it with a
beating from his left. Also when... when they go down into the mine
everyone would still be alive. There would be no shocking memories, and
the prevailing emotion will be one of nostalgia for those left behind,
combined with a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead! Ahhhh!
Right are reflexes into Nazi salute. He pulls it back into his lap and
beats it again. Gloved hand attempts to strangle him.

Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ration of ten women to each man.
Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so called
monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?

Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required
for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man
will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the
women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which
will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

DeSadeski: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there,
Doctor.

Strangelove: Thank you, sir.

Not only must we not have a mindshaft gap, but we need to insure that
Linux is used to Beowolf that bank of computerrrs, MEIN LINUS!
