New Scientist says the Pentagon ten years ago considered making a non-lethal
chemical artillery shell. It sprays a chemical aphrodisiac on enemy troops
that makes them sexually irresistible to each other when they smell it. The
chemical is still readily available but the project broke down over where to
hang the disco ball. (Argus Hamilton)

The Defense Department now admits it considered creating a poison gas that
would spur opposing troops to homosexual activity. But the Pentagon rejected
the project when it realized it could get the same results simply by having
Barbra Streisand perform behind enemy lines. (Jake Novak)

NASA released a photo Friday from the probe of Saturn's moon Titan. It shows
a dry river bed and evidence of a lake. The surest way to learn if there's
water on Titan is to send Charles Barkley there on the next launch and have
him hit a golf ball. (Argus Hamilton)

The Weather Channel drew record high ratings Thursday covering mudslides and
tornadoes and avalanches. The network is learning what Americans like to
watch. During halftime at the Super Bowl they plan to televise a salute to
the Grand Tetons. (Argus Hamilton)
