In a hilarious BBC news report, it is revealed that the U.S. military considered developing a "'gay bomb,' which would make enemy soldiers 'sexually irresistible' to each other." The rationale?

The plan for a so-called "love bomb" envisaged an aphrodisiac chemical that would provoke widespread homosexual behaviour among troops, causing what the military called a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale.

The report also highlights other "weapons" researched and scrapped by the Pentagon:

*A chemical weapon that would make enemy troops a magnet for swarms of angry wasps or rats
*A weapon designed to inflict a rank and lasting haliotosis on enemy troops, preventing them from hiding in civilian populations
*A "Who? Me?" bomb that would provoke flatuence among enemy soldiers
