Exeter, I had to research this, but I don't even know if I have it right or not. It doesn't seem like this would be a doomsday weapon device.
A. "Blackpox???”

Would this be the Neutron Bomb, or the Cobalt Bomb?
Ah, ya beat me to it, Allie! 
Oh pooh, i was going to say the cobalt bomb too.
dagnabbit.
The Cobalt Bomb is capable of wiping out life on earth. It explodes and emits long-lasting and lethal gamma radiation, the most energetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum. Has the Cobalt Bomb been constructed? If it has, then it is part of a classified arsenal of weapons, but who would want to
unleash a weapon of such destructive power that none who inhabit the earth would survive? Perhaps only those who can take refuge in a deep underground Ark.

Q. What was one of the main reasons why the first World War began????
| QUOTE (Allie @ Sep 6 2003, 03:55 PM) |
| Q. What was one of the main reasons why the first World War began???? |
A. Well, these guys were sitting around one beautiful July day, knocking back a few brews, doing some fishing, and just generally being bored. As they are getting low on beer, one of the guys suggests they do something for a bit of fun and switch over to rabbit hunting on the way to the corner store. Well, after an afternoon of drinking, the guys were a bit unsure of their aim at times, and one of them, Henry, could have sworn that what he shot at LOOKED like a rabbit, although a very tall one with a bad hair cut... No one bothered to tell the guys that Archduke Ferdinand of Austria was visiting...
Anyway, Archduke Ferdinands assasination was the first major event that started WW1. Everything dominoed from there.

A. Armistice Day!
November 11, 1918
Actually, both sides had agreed independently to stop fighting a few days before (Nov. 9, to be exact) and had sent messengers to the opposing commanders announcing their own surrender. By an improbable twist of fate, both messengers, Fritz and Stan, happened to run into each other in a small pub just north of Paris, where they were pleasently suprised to discover their common occupations. After much consoling (and much shared wine) over their deplorable working conditions, meager pay, lack of union representation, and general dissatisfaction with life, they proceeded to stagger their separate ways, Fritz on his way to the Allied camp, Stan on to the German. Well, Stan never could hold his liquer and promptly got lost, finally ending up somewhere near Lenningrad. Fritz, however, stayed true to his mission.
And so, on November 11, 1918, Germany signed the last of a series of armistice agreements ending WW1.

The person was Kate Sheppard. Today her image graces the New Zealand $10 note and a mural commemorating the achievements of the suffragists stands on the banks of the Avon River in Christchurch. In her obituary in the Christchurch Times on 16 July 1934, it was written:
"A great woman has gone, whose name will remain an inspiration to the daughters of New Zealand while our history endures."
