Title: Helicopter Lands on Man? (No, he's not dead...) Post by: Phoenix on 2006-09-19, 18:57 Now here's something impressive:
http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_20006...0601.html?menu= (http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2000601.html?menu=) So now this guy can say "Yeah, I had a helicopter land on me once..." with a straight face to his drinking buddies. That's got to be priceless. Oh, and since we're on the subject of "weird stuff"... Quote BAE Systems says it wants to design bullets without lead because it 'can harm the environment and pose a risk to people'. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_20000...0057.html?menu= (http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2000057.html?menu=)Bullets... posing a risk to people. Uhuh. Who woulda thunk?[/color] :huh: Title: Re: Helicopter Lands on Man? Post by: Moshman on 2006-09-19, 19:48 Next the bullets will be pink with butterflys and birdies on it.

It's utterly ridiculous." This is priceless stuff. XDTitle: Re: Helicopter Lands on Man?

Title: Re: Helicopter Lands on Man? Post by: Phoenix on 2006-09-20, 01:18 Well in all seriousness, removing lead from bullets, and removing other toxic chemicals makes sense if you're wanting to do the following:
1) Keep your own troops from getting sick. Not really too worried about the other side, after all. 2) Keep whoever has to live in the future on the land that's currently battlefield from getting sick So I don't think it's a bad thing to do, just that it was very badly worded in the article, leading to it being a source of amusement, much like the helicopter landing on the guy.

"The enemy is cheating! They're using lead bullets!" :huh: Title: Re: Helicopter Lands on Man? Post by: Sucutrule on 2006-09-24, 18:59 Quote "This is laughable. They make weapons to kill people.

No,there wont be bullets there will be "I hate you" cards as weapons of mass destruction. Title: Re: Helicopter Lands on Man? Post by: Thomas Mink on 2006-09-25, 01:52 The cards were used already in Vietnam... but they were death cards (Bicycle Ace of Spades cards), not really 'I hate you' cards.
