Pentagon reveals rejected chemical weapons 15 January 2005 From New Scientist THE Pentagon considered developing a host of non-lethal chemical weapons that would disrupt discipline and morale among enemy troops, newly declassified documents reveal. Most bizarre among the plans was one for the development of an "aphrodisiac" chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other. Provoking widespread homosexual behaviour among troops would cause a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale, the proposal says. Other ideas included chemical weapons that attract swarms of enraged wasps or angry rats to troop positions, making them uninhabitable. Another was to develop a chemical that caused "severe and lasting halitosis", making it easy to identify guerrillas trying to blend in with civilians. There was also the idea of making troops' skin unbearably sensitive to sunlight. The proposals, from the US Air Force Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, date from 1994. 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. Spokesman Edward Hammond says it was not known if the proposed $7.5 million, six-year research plan was ever pursued.

I heard that on the Boortz show yesterday- It's not such a bad idea..we need to get us a bunch of good looking enemy soldiers, and put a bunch of cameras all around ;)

My Dom jsut told me aboute this. It is hilarious, but it might work in som ways. I do not mean that homosexuality is bad, but many thinks so and the whole army might be full of bad words and bullying in no time.

I'm amused by the angry rats and wasps option. Perhaps somthing that enraged the local rabbit population would be more appropriate ("with long sharp pointy teeth!")

A Reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20: Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." I warned you! But did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it? Joshua

to sorta bring us back on topic, I'm pretty sure we don't need to spend anymore money on researching new chemical weapons. All we need to do is collect the laundry from my roomate. It's caustic burny nature has been readily established, and the smell alone can make people vacate a room. Or pehaps translate the best joke ever into arabic (an even more obscure monty pyton reference I'm sure.)

That would be the Knight. You are indeed brave, Sir knight, but the fight is mine. --Oh, had enough, eh? Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left. --Yes I have Look!
