A new weapon technology strikingly similar to Jason's Marbles has been developed by the US Department of Defense utilizing a small sphere made of rubbery rocket fuel (like what the Space Shuttle's SRBs use) with a little hole in it to act as a nozzle.
Wired wrote:The Pentagon has a new secret weapon to neutralize sites containing chemical or biological weapons: rocket balls. These are hollow spheres, made of rubberized rocket fuel; when ignited, they propel themselves around at random at high speed, bouncing off the walls and breaking through doors, turning the entire building into an inferno. The makers call them "kinetic fireball incendiaries."
Wired wrote:The kinetic fireballs might be an effective way of dealing with chemical and biological WMDs safely. They might also be effective against nuclear facilities, as again they can effectively spread destruction throughout a complex without breaking it open and spreading radioactivity.

I seriously thing Fel needs to patent his little pony. Next thing you know Fel's little ponies will be ferreting out Osama Binladen.

And here we all thought Fel was just going to school, writing some stories and when school not in session worked for some company that abused him. Little did we know that he was sitting in Area 51 designing weapons for the Pentagon. Don't be suprised people when in a few months the Pentagon comes out with a robotic dog that blasts out peoples eardrums and slags metal.

But those puppies are
so cute!
I seem to remember something about the intelligence agencies banning Furbys (sp?) a few years back in case they recorded and played back national secrets... Was that Fel's work too?
