and also serve as novel delivery system abbatoir->wholesale meat merchants. |

I can see it now.....
Person A - "Damn, where is that beef?"
Person B - "It's ok, I just saw the muzzle flash"
Person A - "Gentleman, deploy the large landing spike and the burners, this one's a kebab order" |
|

That's pretty much how I saw it, [nmr]. I could have
spent half a day writing scenarios. |
|
| |
Firing animal corpses at the enemy is baked, shirley? |
|
| |
It's certainly baked in Monty Python and the Holy Grail |
|
| |
It was something that the siege-engineers of old would do, trebuchet style. There's nothing like a smelly old carcass lobbed into the enemy's stronghold to share a little pestilence. |
|
| |
Like Greek Fire, only more macrobiotic. (Or to put it another way, what [AbsintheWithoutLeave] said) |
|
| |
"What have you named your gun, soldier?" |
|
| |
[UnaBubba], you ripped all your cow puns out of my
idea when you ditched your account. There was
some quality ones there too! |
|
| |
// How many would fit into 1.3 tonnes I
wonder? // |
|
| |
447 (adult cats, 1 year old or more- not
kittens). Using a wooden crate, it's a cube
roughly 1.2m on an edge, and fits on a
standard pallet. |
|
| |
Getting the top layer in is very difficult, but
once the lid is nailed on and the joints are
taped … |
|
| |
Don't forget to not make any airholes. |
|
| |
Surely you could get some more in there, if they were vacuum packed beforehand? |
|
| |
// could have spent half a day writing scenarios// |
|
| |
Ah - not gainfully employed, then. |
|
| |
I object to the mistreatment of moo cows in this
idea. I object most vehemently. |
|
| |
Even though this is theoretical mistreatment and probably
parody, I'm not a fan of this Idea either. Cows are gentle
creatures. Tasty, but deserving of humane and respectful
treatment. |
|
| |
I'll throw in a "me too". I'm good with it, as long as "previously viable" means up to and not including some pre-launch point, and not ballistically mooing. |
|
| |
Although... some particular cows I have known- I would allow my moral outrage to take a break as they hurtled into the fray. |
|
| |
I took "previously viable" to mean post-mortem, but I have
this thing about respect for an animal even after death. I
don't like to see mistreatment of remains. In a movie it's
okay, because I know it's simulated. |
|
| |
Nothing personal, [UnaBubba]. |
|
| |
I meant they were dead, and by the BSE and MEAT
components, not usable as foodstuffs or anything
useful other than fuel or grist for the comedy mill. |
|
| |
Howitzer better? I hold this idea in udder contempt. |
|
| |
Okay, if we're launching leftover cow parts after the useful
bits have been taken and due respect given, then I say fire
away. |
|
| |
In the words of Duck Edwing, "Baruch atah adonai eloheinu , Kowinnnng flibbbbbble kersplatttz". suitably disposed of, and respected. |
