I wish I had something clever to write---but----I got nothing!


Pioneering research into a "gay bomb" that makes enemy troops "sexually irresistible" to each other has scooped one of this year's Ig Nobel Prizes.

Other winners included work on treating hamster jetlag with impotency drugs, extracting vanilla from cow dung, and the side-effects of sword swallowing.

The awards, founded in 1991, mark achievements that "first make people laugh, and then make them think".

The prize ceremony took place at Harvard University, US.

The irritating thing about this story is that the "bomb" wasn't designed to make anyone "gay". It was designed to make them instantly horny, and everyone assumed that:

a) Instantly horny soldiers will immediately have sex with one another
b) Gay people are constantly horny

Maybe Craig could use that in his defense--"I was close to a gay bomb test and I was infected!" I would be better than the lame sh*t he is spreading now.

Just a few question how is being gay a handy cap? How is that going to hurt the enemy’s troops? And why aren’t we investing that money where it is really needed like fixing our crumbling infrastructure? Kind of funny how it seems like our government is trying to suppress gays (like me) here in the states, but at the same time trying to create them else where
