The "Gay" Bomb and other Crazy Shit Author: johnmilton
Unfortunatley there is some news that you hear about that you just shake your head at and think to yourself .. What the Fuck. Here is one of those articles. Source is linked at bottom of article.
Last week the Pentagon confirmed that it has considered developing a "gay bomb", an aphrodisiac pheromone designed to make enemy forces so attracted to one another that the US could just march in and take over. In 2003, when I was writing The Men Who Stare At Goats, a book about US military craziness, I happened to meet the colonel in charge of nurturing the gay bomb proposal. His name is John Alexander, and he lives in a large house in Las Vegas filled with books by his friend Uri Geller. I found him slightly scary. He kept giving me hard looks and saying, "What's your name again?" whenever I asked him a question he didn't like.
Recently a US Air Force report co-written by the colonel was leaked. It details many of the other "non-lethal technologies" currently in covert development within military labs. Some of them make the gay bomb look positively conventional. There's the "low-frequency infrasound" which "easily penetrates most buildings and vehicles" and creates "nausea, loss of bowel control, disorientation, vomiting, potential internal organ damage and death". (The report is quite laissez-faire about its definition of the term "non-lethal".) There's the race-specific stink bomb and the chameleon camouflage suit, both of which have apparently never got off the ground because nobody can work out how to invent them, and a special pheromone that "can be used to mark target individuals and then release bees to attack them".
Then there's the prophet hologram - "the projection of the image of an ancient god over an enemy capitol whose public communications have been seized and used against it in a massive psychological operation."
Commentators have suggested that the Pentagon must be embarrassed that these crazy endeavours have come to light, but I suspect they are pleased: it makes human-rights abuses seem amusingly hare-brained as opposed to chilling. US military scientists believe it is their calling to reach out to the furthest corners of their imaginations to try these things out, and once in a while they invent something that actually works. The Taser gun was nurtured by Alexander.
After my book was published, the colonel went on national US radio to claim that he had never met me. I was a fantasist who just pretended to meet his interviewees. In fact, I had hours of film showing me at his house. It was a stupid weapon to be levelled against me, but I suppose it just might have worked.

Payback is a Bitch Author: johnmilton
Where I work there has been some cubicle warfare being flung around the office. Its all in good fun and usually is easy enough to clean-up. That is until the latest of the attacks. It appears someone just had enough and went a bit overboard, but that just makes me laugh even more. Dumping styrofoam peanuts on people is one thing ... dumping all the junk laying around in the office on someone .. is well ... lets just call it was it is ... funny as shit!
Its not like this is the first time that someone has gone a bit overboard at the office. Once a persons entire cube was filled with styrofoam peanuts to the top, another time a co-workers office was entirely gift-wrapped ( I mean everything in the office, chair, computer, mousepads, mouse, pens, paper, stapler, etc .. you name it) and yet another time someone got the Post-It note Prank. (shown below) It should be entertaining to see what happens next. God I love my job :)
