Gay bombs: US secret weapon plan
A US plan to develop a bad breath bomb and a chemical weapon to make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other has been revealed in newly declassified documents.
New Scientist's web site reports that the documents show the Pentagon considered a range of non-lethal chemical weapons aimed at disrupting enemy discipline and morale.
The "sex bomb" idea would cause a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale, it states.
Also considered were concoctions that would be irresistible to wasps or angry rats to render enemy bases uninhabitable.
And there was the bad breath bomb idea - a weapon that caused "severe and lasting halitosis" to make it easier to sniff out spies.
Other ideas dating back to 1994 from the US Air Force Wright Laboratory in Ohio included making soldiers' skin react painfully to sunlight.
The lab sought Pentagon funding for research into what it called "harassing, annoying and 'bad guy'-identifying chemicals". The plans have been posted online by the Sunshine Project, an organisation that exposes research into chemical and biological weapons.

COMMENT.
I'm nearly speechless. My sides hurt from laughing. I can't help but wonder whether this counts as a WMD. (What? Me Deviate?).

imagine this: the first division tranvestitie brigade . . .airborne wing! Flying into the area with FANTASTIC makeup. And a fantastic gun. The other side going "holy shit, look at these guys. They've got guns! They've got guns! Where's my gun? Oh, bugger."
-Eddie Izzard.
I think those would be funny if it was ever any form of a reality.

...so apparently there's a chemical that provokes uncontrollable homosexual urges, and it's not available to the public?
If this story isn't just hogwash, I'm assuming we'll start seeing this wonder substance on the shelves at gay bookstores?
Sounds like fun, anyway.

You think I could talk them into dropping some of that other stuff on my highschool? Not that it really needs it . . . but still . . .

HAHAHAHAHA!!!:D:D:D
Thanks, I needed to get that out of my system. Of course all biological weapons are bad IMHO, but I find myself laughing at these so much I guess they're not as bad as something lethal.

Interesting.. You smell like Goat! You must be a terrorist.
Any chemical weapon that purposely eats away clothes? :D
I especially liked the bee's idea.

It'll stop armies in their tracks as they ditch their "soooo 90's" fatigues in search of a good Abercrombie store.

Ha Ha.
Leftist thought at its finest. A "gay bomb".
In my day bombs were for killing people and breaking things. That's not PC now, so we have to piss money away developing this kind of crap.
This is exactly what gays in the military leads to, and why anyone with an ounce of sense opposes allowing them to serve in the armed forces.

LOL...I remember that song when it came out. I actually like it, but I'm not sure if I want to hear Tom Jones sing that song...too much bad imagery.
As for this story: the thing that gives it away for me is the line "harassing, annoying and 'bad guy'-identifying chemicals". Sure, George W. Bush uses "bad guy", but the Pentagon- in an official document no less- would not. It'd be a lot more formal.

Please tell me I'm missing some kind of sarcasm. Your attacking liberals over an obvious joke. Besides, it's not like gays in the military haven't been done before. In Greece, they had an entire Phalanx composed of gay lovers, and they never lost a battle.

Of course they never lost: they only attacked enemy phalanxes from the rear.

Curtis E LeMay is hillarious, I actually imagine a cigar chomping old Air Force General when I read his posts. But if he really bothers you I will eliminate him with a carpet bombing of sex bombs,

I don't see why people would find this so unbelievable (sp?) during the invasion and occupation of Viet Nam the Defence and Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) actually funded research for a mechanical elephant.
I think the idea was to inconspicuously move through a jungle environment.

No, it's actually a serious (well, as serious as this can be) news story. Here's another link: http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,11937748%255E13762,00.html

You should see the article about a fish with a human face (http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,11936358%255E13762,00.html)
The reasons for those odd headlines was that the area the link took you to is called 'The Other Side' which runs light hearted news stories.:D

After seeing this, maybe half the United States aren't just a bunch of Bible-thumping homophobes anymore. Maybe this was the genuine threat that got them voting for Bush.
But honestly... can you imagine what a weapon of mass terror this could be? Imagine if Al Qaeda had managed to acquire a (use your best Ian McDiarmid voice here) Fully Operational Gay Bomb or two, and set them off at the Southern Baptist Conference... or even more devastating, at the Shrub's re-inauguration? The psychological damage to the Religious Right would be unspeakable.

Who but the military could possibly combine the two concepts of "elephant" and "inconspicuous".
And, of course, after the gay bombs, they would just have to be ....
pink elephants.

The Sacred Band of Thebes. They finally did lose a battle, Alexander of Macedon wiped them out to the last man.
