Military on Alert for Killer Coke Cans

DigitalLogic writes "There's a new security threat at some of the nation's military bases -- and it looks uncannily like a can of Coke. All I can think of is that a furby with a coke can must be the military's worse nightmare."

I hear that the US military killed everyone at Ken and Barbie's wedding during the Furby War ... and Elmo doesn't like being tickled any more.

There are certain military facilities I visit where I have to surrender my calculator "because it has memory and you might use it to remove classified communications." Meanwhile, the local support staff is wheeling entire desks and filing cabinets in and out without the guards looking at them twice.

Don't think about it, it'll just make you crazy.

I had one of those cans

[Orion Blastar]

I smashed it and threw it away. I wanted soda, not some darn cell phone!

the countdown timer in the back of my mind starts going "10-9-8-7-6...".

You'll never be allowed on a military base with one of those in your head.
