Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

This article suggests that the US military was toying with the idea of an “interesting” new type of weapon in 1994.

Well, if nothing else we got a new Tom Jones single out of it in 2000, so it wasn’t a total waste of time.

Wonder how much, in the way of tax-payer funds, was blown (heh) on that particular project.

“Terribly sorry, sir, but Operation Mindfuck was a complete failure.”

[sub]'s about the only response I could write that wouldn’t have sent this to the Pit.[/sub]

:eek:

one hopes this would be recorded somehow…

It’s the gays! Proof of the gay agenda to turn everyone gay! And it happened under Clinton!

First, enemy soldiers, tomorrow…the WORLD!!!

I swear *Monty Python * had a skit like this…
“Why, I never noticed what beautiful eyes you had, sargeant…”

:eek: I thought that crappy song was the weapon.

As for the aphrodisiac, I would like to volunteer to help test it. I think a Victorias Secret fashion show would be an ideal proving ground. It’d be a sacrifice, but one that I would be willing to make for my country.

I wonder what exactly killed the project?

Is it because it didn’t physically work?

Or because a rape bomb would generate more anti-US hatred, even if it’s never actually used, than killing people with a conventional bomb?

I’ve never heard anyone credible say that aphrodisiacs are real, so that might be a problem. Then again, the crazy shit you get out of Washington- ever seen some of the rejected plans for overthrowing Castro?

Not just a sex bomb, but a vampire missile. From the New Scientist:

Not to self: Invest in AstroGlide before the next war.

12

Also from New Scientist:

So the affected troops are the ones with horrible trenchmouth who can’t keep their hands off each other?

I know those guys!

In A.D. 1994

War was beginning.

Captain: What happen ?

Mechanic: Somebody set up us the gay bomb.

Don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t make long, lingering eye contact with your hunky, hunky trenchmate…

If they wanted a “Sex Bomb,” why didn’t they just try Flipper?

Somewhere, in a major breach of research protocol, word got out and up to someone who actually has something resembling good sense. And who stopped to ask “what happens if the wind’s blowing the other way?”
