#19 Dr. Strangelove - You lose all control over your Nuclear Bombers and Missles. They fire at Russian cities at will.

#20 Russian Doomsday Machine - Causes a rapid viewing of archived nuclear explosions that you see in all Cold War T.V. shows.

There is a 50% chance that the world's computer systems will be hacked into and cause random disbandings of units, launches of missles and/or causing the AI to get as intelligent as a 2 year old instead of the usual still-in-the-womb. (well, maybe a 10% chance on that last one.)
