The Pentagon's Gay Bomb


No, it isn't the first of April; apparently the Pentagon seriously considered constructing a bomb loaded with hormones to turn opposing soldiers homosexual! It's worthy of Dr Evil.
"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soliders to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably attractive to one another,"

The really funny thing is that they actually thought (a) this might work, and (b) would seriously give them a tactical advantage. Presumably on the battlefield, they thought that those pesky Russkys would lay down their weapons and go to pick and arrange some flowers, or make a quiche, or run up some curtains……
