As far as I know the saying a Rule of thumb came about beccause of the cold war era propganda that was released relating to the size of the blast. Basicly if you say a nuke hit you should raise your thumb to the smoke cloud, if your thumb is bigger your safe, smaller and you better run! It had the same goal of making people feel safe as hiding under a desk thing did. (Which technically only puts people in more risk which is also the reason I dont like the TSA but oh well)
