Pentagon Working on "Human Fear" Weapons

An anonymous reader writes "Animals use pheromones to attract each other for sex, and warn each other of danger. Now, Wired reports, military researchers are working to harness the 'human fear' pheromone to create a scent of terror. The pheromone could lead to smell-based terrorist sensors, and new weapons that rely on 'contagious' stress."

    You don't usually use a 16-sided dice. You've got 4,6,8,10,12,and 20. A standard polyhedral set comes with one of each of those two tens. You can get a 16-sider, but that's a special order in most cases. I'm also not aware of a game in which it would be useful.

    You can also get a 100-sider, but you usually roll two 10s, one of which is marked with a trailing 0 on each side. /Married //Still plays DnD ///DMing tonight. ////I own several sets of dice, including one set that's 20+ years old. /////The only girl that I'm scared of is my daughter.
