Alright troops – listen up! Today we’re going to discuss how to turn time-travel, a scientific and explorative activity, into a set of deadly weapons designed to maim, murder and mutilate. Why you ask? Well, just for asking that I’m going to time-bomb you into a leper colony. That’s right douchebag, enjoy your leprosy.
As soon as new technology is developed, crazy people will start figuring out how it might be used in a combat situation. This is a natural and organic process, and we shouldn’t interfere. We can however speculate as to the wartime applications of time-travel technology. Read More »

When travelling, ES staff get around the pesky rules about guns on planes by only travelling by nuclear submarine, but this clearly wasn’t an option for one Florida resident this weekend, as he stepped onto the concourse at Dusseldorf International armed with a pump action shotgun, two pistols and a combat knife.
German rozzers were quick to step in and confiscate the weapons, whose owner claimed ignorance of international law on these matters.
Back in the US police said they would ‘look into’ how the man managed to get on an international flight tooled up to the teeth.

Surprise news today, as it looks like USAF may eventually take a ‘no more nukes’ stance. Why? Because now they have frickin laser beams instead! A succesful test was made at Edwards Air Force base in California of the Airborne Laser System, a billion-KPH beam designed to be mounted on a conventional 747 or “similar” aircraft (By similar, I’m assuming they mean no first class section). Apparently the idea is to use this as a missile defense system, but I give it a year before they mount this mutha on an F-21.

More awesome craziness from the US military, who seem driven to take warfare kicking and screaming into the doomed future. Self propelled bunker busting rocket fireballs.
The Pentagon has a new secret weapon to neutralize sites containing chemical or biological weapons: rocket balls. These are hollow spheres, made of rubberized rocket fuel; when ignited, they propel themselves around at random at high speed, bouncing off the walls and breaking through doors, turning the entire building into an inferno. The makers call them “kinetic fireball incendiaries.” The Pentagon doesn’t want to talk about them, but published documents show that the fireballs have undergone tests on underground bunkers.
I often wonder how they come up with these ideas. Is there a secret think tank that just sits around drinking high quality bourbon, smoking cigars and dreaming up new ways to kill people? Because, if there is, I have some ideas for them…(Monkey Shoulder and a havana please!)
