The Who? Me? Bomb

Just read a brilliant story on the BBC site about various non lethal chemical weapons that formed part of a proposal seeking Pentagon funding submitted by the US Air Force Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio.

Amongst the planned weapons were:
  • a "love bomb" with an aphrodisiac chemical designed to provoke widespread homosexual activity amongst enemy troops
  • a chemical designed to cause severe and long lasting halitosis so that enemy forces would be unable to blend in with ordinary civilians (they obviously haven't had to work with anyone trying out the Atkins diet...)
  • a "who?me?" device which sounds basically like a giant fart bomb

According to the Pentagon none of the systems described in the proposal have been developed .

Honestly, you couldn't make this stuff up!
