Paul Fryer's atom bomb art has bed inside

Artist Paul Fryer calls his piece of art Rehabilitation. Because it has a little room inside, I would have called it Bomb Shelter. (via Shedblog)

That little room inside is just the thing to hide when Homeland Security comes to visit.

Might I suggest adding an occupied/unoccupied sign to it? Nothing like being dropped out of an airplane to ruin a perfectly good nap!

I wonder how the residents of Nagasaki view it?

How about a sign on it when you're sleeping inside that says "Gone fission?"

You know those "Romantic" motor lodges with the theme rooms (the "Harem Room", the "Caveman Room", the "Disco Room", etc. ) -- I can see them having this out back for very specialized fantasies. I suggest calling it "The Slim Pickens Suite."

When I was growing up in Saskatoon Saskatchewan, there was an A-bomb/camper trailer very much like this one that was parked behind an apartment building a few blocks from my house.

I never did find out who built the thing. It was pretty cool though.
