"As you can see, I have uncovered new and creative ways of utilizing my Uranium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator! Now that I have blown up Earth, I will now use it to mount an assault on Uranus!"

*Uranium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator - The name of the space weapon component that cartoon character Bugs Bunny (playing an astronaut) grabbed from Marvin the Martian in the animated feature short Haredevil Hare (1948). Marvin the Martian, a.k.a. Commander X-23 carried an ACME disintegrator ray hand gun and wanted to use the "PU-36" device to blow up Earth because it blocked his view of Venus. TRIVIA NOTE: The original reference to "Uranium PU-36" changed to Illudium PU-36 in subsequent cartoons. Some people mistake the sound of "PU" for a "Q" and say "Q-36." However, the weapon's name is derived from the letters "PU" which coincidentally is the atomic symbol for Plutonium (named for the planet Pluto).
