    They've turned Puff The Magic Dragon into Belarion The Black Dread, just in case they might need to perforate a star.
    And you know that, somewhere on the planet, there's a crew putting the finishing touches on an MK-19 that fires Tsar Bombas at a rate of 350 rounds a minute.

    After millions of years a exploration ships stumbles a planet full of giant weapons. They do not realize that the giant structures are weapons at first and begin to explore the structures. After realizing that the bizarre structures are infact weapons they quickly leave and return the way they came. While hoping the giants that built such weapons do not find them.

    the schematics are in mm ... who cares, let's do it in inches ... its just a scale factor of 25.4 .... reminds of the story where the terrans built the war ship scaled up ...

      Oh I remember that one. Some aliens sending humans a blueprints to build a battleship. The humans misread the blue prints. When the human show up for the ship everything is 100 times the size it should be.
