$7,5 million dollars to create the funniest news item of the year.. The US military investigated building a "gay bomb", which would make enemy soldiers "sexually irresistible" to each other, government papers say. |

"The plan for a so-called "love bomb" envisaged an aphrodisiac chemical that would provoke widespread homosexual behaviour among troops, causing what the military called a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale." Haw haw! Certainly a blow to something..... Trader Woody |

Haha, ya I saw that on TV. It was a looong time ago. Anyhow, it's good that they were investigating non-lethal means of warfare. If Jeff came back gay, I'd be pretty pissed off. Yer subject line kind of caught me off guard...since my husband and I live on a Military budget. With our $200,000 mortgage it aint so grand. |

Like Rummy said: "As you know, you have to go to war with the Army you have, not the Army you want". |

That is so funny I can't believe it! A real bomb like that would only serve to create a whole bunch of sailors! :wink: Winston Churchill summed it up pretty well: "Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, buggery and the lash." |

This reminds me of the Monty Python skit about the joke that was so funny, if you heard it, you would die laughing. They had WW2 British troops in foxholes reading it off cheat sheets in German, and the advancing Germans would collapse laughing when they got it. |

You've obviously never had a military budget, 7.5 Mil may only pay for paperwork, methodologies & ISO certifications. This sounds like when the Yippies attempted to levitate the Pentagon. Abbie Hoffman threatened that if they were maced they would respond by spraying the police with "LACE," a mixture of LSD & DMSO, that would cause all the police immediately throw off their clothes & make love with each other. Needless to say the Yippies were not maced. |

Would you believe if I told you that KAOS was inventing a Nude Bomb? |

There are places where that would have little effect, places where the Spartan way is still the lifestyle of choice. Google it yourself. Try Afghanistan. Pashtun. Kandahar. |

Great, so now I have the song "Gay Bar" stuck in my head, but I'm saying "Gay Bomb" instead. |

I wonder if they got the idea from the 1968 movie "What's So Bad About Feeling Good?". The plot is about a Tucan that arrives in NYC on a foreign freighter and begins spreading a virus that makes people euphorically happy and loving towards their fellow man. The government gets involved when this "disease" begins to wreak havoc on the New York economy. Imagine all that lost revenue when people stop buying liquor, junk food, drugs, cigarettes and guns! Economic collapse can't be far off. |

That's hi-larious. This is my favorite mash-up from before the election. Don't worry, it's a bi-partisan basher: http://www.ifilm.com/viralvideo scroll down to "Revolution: World of Evil" |

The running joke on the AIDS Lifecycle, where the gay/straight ratio is about 80/20, is that if gay men ran the world, everyone would have plenty to nosh, their clothes would match, and there would umbrella cocktails for everyone. Seriously, maybe it's not such a bad idea... |
