[QUOTE=Squink] Do a search for ‘race’ by username Collounsbury. That’ll pull up many of the threads. [/QUOTE] Yeah, but he was just mentioning it as a far-fetched possibility. Not a scientific possibility. Or was he? Those of us with the evil secret are sworn to secrecy. We shan’t speak of the possibilities of the one true weapon to rule all. I feel guilty knowing the secret of world domination and not being able to share it. But, then, I’m Catholic. I’m conditioned to feel guilty. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=parrot recipes] Yes! Now that you’ve brought it up, it has **completely** ruined my night! I am so pissed. Thanks a lot. [/QUOTE] Yes, but you apparently have recipes for dead parrots. These we will need when we kill the “brownies”. You shall be indoctrinated. And you shall cook for us when we take over the tropical islands. Fear not. You shall be respected and lauded. OK, enough fun. This thread is nuts. ---

[QUOTE=Cisco] This is the first I’ve heard of them - can you provide any links? Thanks. [/QUOTE] You could follow **Squink** ’s suggestion, but then we wouldn’t see you for six months or so (first reading them, then trying to purge many of them from your memory). **Eponymous** once had a [web page](http://www.eneubauer.com/) linking many of the old ones from 2001. (I’m not sure how many are still available vs how many have been archived.) One exceptionally intense (and long) discussion occurred in a thread pitting the noted troll, **peace** , beginning near the bottom of the second page with [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=962118#post962118).

I just invented a virus that only attack people who wear ball caps that are too big and tilted dangerously to one side. I invented it to get rid of Kevin Federline. I’m willing to accept that there will be collateral damage. ---

[QUOTE=Der Trihs] According to my somewhat vague memories, it targeted people according to their DNA and/or body chemistry and/or body structure and killed them; meant as a eugenics weapon to kill off “inferiors”. I remember some scientist making a comment about how you could use it to kill everyone who was, say, too short or too tall or according to their percentage of body fat. [/QUOTE] I coulda sworn it was just designed to kill anyone who lacked the genetic markers indicating they were modified as part of the Black Lance program, since the real purpose of the weapon was to provide a causus belli for the UBW/Terran Confederation war that Tolwyn thought was necessary. ---
