DROPPING THE GAY BOMB
Shaving Ryan's Privates?
You know that scene in Ocean's 13 where Matt Damon, donning a fake Steven Soderbergh nose, places a high-tech aphrodisiac on his neck and successfully lures Ellen "the Cougar" Barkin into lustful temptation?
Yeah, I thought it was ridiculous too.
But apparently, one military lab thought such an invention was a viable idea.
Through the Freedom of Information Act, the Air Force's Wright Laboratory was just forced to reveal that it had brainstormed the idea of a "hormone bomb" designed to make enemy soldiers more interested in frakking than attacking.
The 1994 proposal, requesting $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon, stated: "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."
I'm pretty sure the author of the proposal was watching one of those soft-core Skinemax B-movies, not that I would know whether the plot of The Nympho Gun sounds similar to the proposal.
The Pentagon purportedly passed on the proposal to the highest scientific review body in the country before ultimately dismissing it.
I would laugh at this war plan ... except that it's better than our current one.
