Pulowski preservation shelter fallout 769/20/2023 Just like the joke about the personal short-range nuclear missile launcher.- Gothemasticator 10:50, Decem(UTC) It sounds more like a last name than the word polish, i'm guessing it was just named after the inventor.- Swizzler 17:42, Decem(UTC) No, I mean that the last name Pulowski is a Polish last name. The fact that these things don't even stop you from soaking up radiation only strengthens my suspicions.Įh. Seeing as the name of the company is Pulowski, and the concept of a phonebooth-sized fallout shelter to stand in while you "wait for radiation to clear" (which realistically has a half-life of thousands of years) is utterly ridiculous, I think this is possibly a Polish joke that just so happens to be on every other street-corner in the DC ruins. A prime example would be? "Q: How do you sink a Polish battleship? - A: Put it in water." The government and cities would not be funding shelters that "teased" nuclear war.- Swizzler 14:34, Octo(UTC)ĭoes this not seem like a tongue-in-cheek Polish joke to anybody? Anyone familiar with these types of jokes know that they're typically of the nature criticizing the Polish by making them seem unintelligent and inept. the billboards for the vaults, the mailers, war was at the tip of everyone's tongues and probably most discussed topic on every news show. Its clearly lined out in the main article that the preservation shelters were constructed hastily when nuclear war seemed imminent, to prevent public panic. I think their intended use was an amusement attraction, a humorous jab at a war they did not expect to happen, rather than a real fallout shelter, albeit their efforts to make it look like it will really withstand nuclear fallout made it incredibly durable.
