Not so boring as you think. Just the underground is. I would use a gray
rock material.  :-)

Blocking: System Admins...

That's just a test.  Green/White checkerboards have been my thing since 
1986 when I typed in my first raytracer from AmigaWorld magazine.
Actually, the production mushroom cloud sits in the kitchen on a white 
superellipsoid floor. ;)

I take it you haven't watched my animation then. :(

This is the first time I've heard of buckosoft.com being blocked.
Unless you have a chinese IP, then I block you. It's just weird to me.

It's not just this website, but many - to prevent employees to use
working time for themselves. Let's say it that way: only a few websites
are accessible during working hours.

I tried faking a mushroom cloud several years ago with little success.

tsk, tsk... Mister Littkowski, can you tell us what you think you are 
doing playing with POV-Ray while we expect you to fill rum bottles, hmm?

I'm trying for something between Bikini Atoll and Bugs Bunny.

I watched all the youtube explosions. Amazing how many different looks 
there are.  None looked like the Duck and Cover video I remember from my 
childhood.

Ha ha ha! Nope, nothing to do with alcohol. And besides, Jamaica doesn't
own its own rum industry anymore, these fools are selling out their own
country. Jamaica Rum is not anymore Jamaican rum...

I bet, now even your pupils look like nuclear explosions, having some
evil orange-red gloss in them... :-D
