For the Apocalypse Lover in You

Two links for the Mutant Futurists amongst you ...

NUKEMAP

What would happen if your hometown was hit by an atomic bomb (or ICBM, if you prefer)? This is the site to find out. Pick the place and pick the yield, and let GoogleMaps do the rest. Also useful for dirty bomb-using terrorists in an Action X or Mystery Men! game.

Would have been very handy when I was doing Mutant Truckers.

ATOMIC ANNIHILATION

This blog is all about images from the atomic age - lots of good material here. In particular, Mutant Futurists might like the plans to the missile base!
