This link leads to a site with an article about a possible new, tank mounted weapon deployed by the US. If this thing does exist, thats pretty leet, and pretty scary
Frickin' laser(ish) beam!

Sounds vaguely like the microwave weapon the military has been working on for some years now. Last I heard of it was a test.... not familiar with any deployments. It's part of the military's effort toward nonlethal weapons to make them more effective in police actions, as well as putting them on the market for civilian law enforcement.
Rense, by the way, is a complete nutcase that isn't taken seriously by anyone outside the tinfoil hat community. |

Do you really consider that a reliable source? Everyone who was about to get their tin-foil hat on: take a look at the dude's site. He's a maniac. And do us all a favor and DO NOT SUBMIT IT TO FARK.

I didn't believe this at first, but out of curiosity I did a few searches on it. Seems it's true!! I was even able to find a picture of it. Yiles!

looked some more, and from what this article and the first one says, i think that the weapon in the first article must be an ultra powered version of this, im not sure how hot it would have to be to flash boil all of the liquid in your body, but i think its very conceivable
another article _____________________

Still sounds like fiction to me...
And Godzilla is exactly what I thought of when I saw that radio-telescope style weapon thingy! _____________________

WTF is C3PO supposed to be USEFUL for anyway, besides whining? Stupid piece of scrap metal would be more useful recycled as a toaster. But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS! |

New US Superweapon:
AOL + There = Theaol (pronounced they-aull) They install it on the governments computers... and let both programs work their magic of AOL) Annoying to no end and There) Draining all the governments money resources. If the country isn't left spouting phrases like "OMGWTAFLOWLO?!11?!" and penny-less then they bring in the Electro-Guns from Twisted Metal as seen in the articles posted above. _____________________

If such a weapon actually existed, Bush would have put it on TV a long time ago. He'd have it out on the White House lawn, taunting Saddam and Osama, and by the end of the press conference, he'd be dry humping it.

It took many a brave men and women to get a screenshot of NOTAOLTHERE, but here it is...
Apparently they're cloneing Darwins also! _____________________
