Well, the two or three bombs as they sit now would be bad. Very bad, in fact, as they would likely destroy a building, as that's what unsupervised bombs tend to do (that and raid the liquor cabinet when their folks aren't watching.) Now, if you took those bombs and spread them throughout the city, to do so equitably you'd have to turn three large bombs into many small bombs. The larger the city, the smaller each individual bomb would be (and thus the less liquor it could hold, though more liquor cabinets would likely be raided.) Indeed, by the time you finished spreading these throughout the city, the end result of them going off would be less an explosion and more a noise that would make you wonder who broke wind.|

Diffuse means to spread through a medium. Do they REALLY want me to spread the bomb threat around the city? That's heroic? |
Of course, the alternative meaning of "medium" could also be entertaining, as we have pseudo-psychics exploding on TV. "Can you speak with my dead poodle, Fluffy?" *BOOM!* Now he can!

There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"
Towards the end of WW2, the US Navy had an experimental program similar to a police K-9 unit. Sailors would train alongside of Dolphins to train the dolphins to respond to human command and carry out complex tasks to sabotage enemy vessels. Not only did the sailors train all day with the dolphins, but while in training, they would bed down in tents by the dolphin's enclosures. They lived as close to the dolphins as possible to more firmly establish the handler/pet relationship.
Every morning, at First Call, the bugler would sound Reveille and yell out "First Call! First Call for all In Tents and Porpoises!"
