ISIS's Hunt For a Bogus Superweapon
schnell writes: The New York Times Magazine has a fascinating story about ISIS efforts to get their hands on a mysterious and powerful superweapon called Red Mercury. The problem is that by consensus among scientific authorities, Red Mercury doesn't exist. And yet that hasn't stopped the legend of Red Mercury, touted by sources from Nazi conspiracy theorists to former Manhattan Project scientists, as having magical properties. Middle East weapons traders have even spun elaborate stories for its properties (ranging from thermonuclear explosive properties to sexual enhancement) and origins and sources (from Soviet weapons labs to Roman graveyards). What can account for the enduring myth of Red Mercury — is it rampant scientific illiteracy, the power of urban legend and shared myth, or something else?
What is it with these dune coon jihadis? Are their dicks actually that small? I guess It would explain a lot.
Well being sand niggers, Arabs are a form of nigger and thus are violent and uncivilized. They also tend to believe ANYTHING, being primitive and tribal by nature.
Well write it into the constitution of the country then if you're that worried - it sorta works in Lebanon (well actually it's a total cluster duck right now but that's because of Syria).
You mean, like the Constitution the jug-eared-motherfucker in office is repeatedly and blatantly ignoring right now? The Constitution that one whole party wants to do away with because words hurt feelings and fear that the bad middle aged white guy is going to come to the inner city and shoot some transsexual person?
THAT Constitution? Somehow I don't think it will matter once there are enough islamists around.
