Gay bomb
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
| Warning!: DUCK AND COVER!!! |
The Gay bomb is an informal name for a theoretical non-lethal chemical weapon, which a United States Air Force research laboratory speculated about producing.
In 1994 the Wright Laboratory in Ohio produced a three-page proposal of a variety of possible nonlethal chemical weapons, which was later obtained—complete with marginal lulz jottings and typos—by the Sunshine Project through a Freedom of Information Act request.
In one sentence of the document it was suggested that a strong aphrodisiac could be dropped on enemy troops, ideally one which would also cause "homosexual behavior". The aphrodisiac weapon was described as "distasteful but completely non-lethal". In its "New Discoveries Needed" section, the document implicitly acknowledges that no such chemicals are actually known. It is not known whether this chemical has been developed further. The document also included many other off-beat ideas, such as spraying enemy troops with bee pheromones and then hiding numerous beehives (beekeeping) in the combat area.
"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soliders to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably attractive to one another," Hammond of Berkeley's Sunshine Project said after reviewing the documents. "The notion was that a chemical that would probably be pleasant in the human body in low quantities could be identified, and by virtue of either breathing or having their skin exposed to this chemical, the notion was that soldiers would become gay," according to Hammond.
[edit] Trivia
- The gay bomb was actually developed in secret and tested in San Francisco in 1973. This is what caused so many of the city's residents to become faggots.
- Most argue that Uncyclopedia has been dramatically crippled by the effects of Gay Bomb.
