The Top Ten

…stupid criminals of 2007.

Isn’t this a little premature? There are still a couple weeks left in the year. One or two of them could still get edged out.

Of course, I’m not sure that any of them top this guy:

Earl Mott: Did you just shoot at me?

Ken Kessler: No, there’s police men everywhere.

Earl Mott: Do you think that I look that stupid?

Ken Kessler: Yes, you do!

Lt. Bender: GIVE THE BAG TO BOZO, DROP THE GUN, AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR.

Earl Mott: Who said that?

Lt. Walters: This could very well be the stupidest person on the face of the earth. Perhaps we should shoot him.

Lt. Bender: IT’S THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

Earl Mott: Really?

Lt. Bender: NO! WE’RE THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION!

Technology and Society

Voice Of God Ray

There’s apparently a military application for what I thought was an advertising technology:

It appears that some of the troops in Iraq are using “spoken” (as opposed to “screeching”) LRAD to mess with enemy fighters. Islamic terrorists tend to be superstitious and, of course, very religious. LRAD can put the “word of God” into their heads. If God, in the form of a voice that only you can hear, tells you to surrender, or run away, what are you gonna do?

What’s cool about this weapon is that it’s one that will be particularly effective with this enemy. If it happened to me, the voice of God isn’t the first theory that I would come up with, since I’m an unbeliever, but with these guys, it probably would be.
