[OT] I thought only Pat came up with stuff like this
From the Pat Flannery Memorial Institute for Really Imaginative
Research comes this historical curiosity: "UK's Chicken Powered Nukes" From the article: "Like me, you've probably stayed awake countless nights wondering, 'Did the Brits ever make plans for a nuclear landmine, powered by chickens?' Well, dear reader, I'm here to tell you that the answer is yes. At least, according to the UK's National Archives." http://www.defensetech.org/archives/001490.html Well, after reading the article I think this is a fowl idea, indeed. -- Herb Schaltegger, GPG Key ID: BBF6FC1C "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 http://www.angryherb.net |

They originally released this on April 1 last year. The poor chap at the National Archives had to repeatedly explain that, no, they weren't in the habit of making April Fool jokes, and if they had it'd have been a little bit more plausible... -- -Andrew Gray |

I'm surprised to hear it took them so long to find that, it was in Fortian news a year or so ago...now if they make a nuclear landmine powered by homosexual necrophiliac ducks... :-) Pat |
