The Supervillain's Arsenal

I've been reading up on bizarre, overpowered weapons
recently, like the Pluto Project.

"Pluto's namesake was Roman mythology's ruler of the
underworld -- seemingly an apt inspiration for a
locomotive-size missile that would travel at near-treetop
level at three times the speed of sound, tossing out
hydrogen bombs as it roared overhead."

"Pluto's designers calculated that its shock wave alone
might kill people on the ground. Then there was the problem
of fallout. In addition to gamma and neutron radiation from
the unshielded reactor, Pluto's nuclear ramjet would spew
fission fragments out in its exhaust as it flew by."

"One enterprising weaponeer had a plan to turn an obvious
peace-time liability into a wartime asset: he suggested
flying the radioactive rocket back and forth over the Soviet
Union after it had dropped its bombs."

More info here.

It's a very scary read, fairly surreal at first. But
at the same time, it's a very interesting portrayal of how
insane human beings can get in the search of more and more
power.

Anyway, have any of you any crazy stories of weapons of mass
destruction to share? Bring it on!

we're like a kid who just got a credit card, spends all his
money on partying, hookers, and dumb shit - then we realize
we can't pay rent or buy groceries

There's a lot of desperation to be king of the hill.

what is bizarre about this type of weapon, however, is that
its so powerful it ends up hurting you, the attacker, as
well

im just waiting until we just blow 1/4 of the earth away,
literally, so it flies into space in pieces - so we have a
death star type bump on our surface

I don't need to read that article to know that this is one
of the most fucked up things in the history of man. I don't
even want to read it, because knowing all about it isn't
going to save me if someone fires that fucking thing.
