USAF Readies Laser of Death
An anonymous reader submits: "From the SkyNet Terminator Death Beam Dept...The London Telegraph is carrying this article about U.S. military plans to outfit AC-130 Spectre gunships with a chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) which can be used against personnel and materiel for lethal and nonlethal missions."
Dr. Evil: Back in the 60's, I developed a weather changing machine which was in essence a sophisticated heat beam which we called a 'laser.' Using these 'lasers' we'd punch a hole in the protective layer around the world which we called the 'ozone' layer. Slowly but surely ultraviolet rays would pour in, increasing the risk for skin cancer, that is...unless the world pays us a hefty ransom?
No. 2: Ahem....that also already has happened.
Dr. Evil: Shit!
sig?
Like the sun, its only harmful if you look directly into it. :)

I hate sigs, and suggest we all stop using them.
What to do if you happen upon a peace rally hosted by some naive, objectors to the military movement in the Middle East:
1) Approach one individual talking about "peace" and claiming there should be "no retaliation."
2) Have a brief conversation with this person and ask if military force is appropriate.
3) When he says "no," ask, "Why not?"
4) When he says, "because that would just cause more innocent deaths, which would be awful, and we should not cause more violence"
5) Punch him in the face . . . hard
6) When he gets up to punch you back, point out that it would be a mistake, and contrary to his values, to punch you, because he would be just increasing the violence.
7) When he agrees that he has pledged not to commit violence,punch him in the face again . . . harder this time.
8) Repeat steps 2 through 7 until he understands that sometimes it is necessary to punch back.
9) Move on to other people in his group until all have been converted.
10) Move on to other demonstrations and repeat steps 1 through 9.
Death rays don't kill people, people kill people
``Build me an army worthy of Mordor.''
Just DO think about this.
Moderators, please do your duty. How long will it take to recognize, that posting above really is "funny"?
