Yeah, Saw that one...was quiet interesting thought.
but would it have worked? I dont really think so.

Link me. I've got to read that.

All I remember about the carrier was that it was supposed to be made of pykrete and named the Habakkuk. As I recall, the Canadians built a proof of concept that worked very well. Because of the thinkness of the hull and the density of pykrete, it would have actually been unsinkable by conventional weapons of war...melting on the other hand, could have eventually overtaken it if the refrigeration failed for many months.

What about the first biological weapons? Animal Carcasses :D Fling them into a besieged city and wait for disease to break out.
Either that or throw them over alive and on fire to burn the place down... :lol:

That's why man invented incendiary bombs and napalm.

I'm reading about the cat bomb with my cat sleeping on the arm of the chair.

I'm sad now.

You forgot the "prunetron" bomb. It doesn't destroy anything, just knocks the cr*p out of it... :huh:

They actually did use that weapon ONCE. Unfortunately, it was so large and unwieldly that it was almost untransportable (The Paris Gun was more easily transportable.)
It didn't succede in shooting down a single allied airplane and they discontinued research into the weapon shortly after.

Thx for the vid.....I can't believe they actuallly tried to use the giant air gun.:lol:

Your welcome.......I reckon they'd have had more success having Hitler and his cronies drop their pants and bend over.
Apparently they were full of wind and p*ss :lol:

I have to say, that the cat one is probably one of the dumbest things I've heard.

Not really. A guided weapon was and still is the holy grail of weaponry. Back then, the idea of getting a weapon to guide itself to target was a dream, so what you have here are people coming up with great ideas to accomplish that. If the cat actually made it to the water, it probably would have seeked its target like they thought.

THe dog one is ingeniuos though!

Even the Romans liked flaming pigs!
