MaDuce Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 A funny but unfortunate true story about how coincidence can really ruin someone's day.Robert Heinlein was a famous Sci Fi author who was popular in the 1950s and 1960s. He wrote several famous novels including Stranger in a Strange Land and Starship Troopers.At the start of the cold war, Robert Heinlein; like many Americans was fearful of a nuclear attack from the Soviet Union and believed that the LA area where he lived was a prime target. His solution was to spend a fortune moving to Colorado, where he built a breathtaking home which gave him a breathtaking view of a beautiful mountain in the background.Shortly after settling, the military paid him a visit to inform him that they would be building NORAD in to that mountain (Mt. Cheyenne), making it the No.1 nuclear target in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
