When I was reading up on the dogs used as tank mines I found this...

According to Pr. Shi Bo, in "Trente-six Stratagèmes Chinois" (in French, ISBN 2-911858-06-9), monkeys were used in the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, in a battle between rebels of the Yanzhou (Yasuo) province and the Chinese Imperial Army, led by Zhao Yu. The monkeys were used as live incendiary devices. The animals were clothed with straw, dipped in oil and set on fire. They were set loose into the enemy's camp, thereby setting the tents on fire, and driving the whole camp into chaos.

I know it should not be funny but the thought of dressing up the monkeys in little straw outfits before lighting them on fire is just too much.

That doesn't beat the Ball of Burning Men. King Charles of France and five of his buddies dressed up like Wild men, by getting sewn in linen bodysuits and covering the bodysuits in resin and grass. They broke into some fancy ladies wedding party and danced around and caused a ruckus. The King's brother, attempting to determine the identity of one of the disguised men, held a torch right up to his face and caught them all on fire.

Fun fact, some people believe that the king's brother knew the king was one of the wildmen, and intentionally set them on fire in the hopes that it would kill the king and he would get to gently caress the queen

also, this king was insane and decided he was made of glass and was afraid that he would shatter if he moved suddenly. http://www.maximumfun.org/sawbones/sawbones-glass-delusion

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

1. Goats are notoriously bad at tactical espionage action
2. At some point, someone would get drunk or high or cave to peer pressure and gently caress the goat, then PETA would get on their rear end and nobody wants to deal with that poo poo
3. Goats do not require a multi billion R & D contract that goes to an engineering firm in a swing state

Give the goats a shot for gosh sakes!

Also they can get up to 3.5m /11.5ft long and weigh up to 600kg / 1,320 lb which is more than twice as heavy as a male African lion, they're huge.

Luckily they tend to regard human divers as idiot useless baby seals:

That penguin is already dead- they like playing with their food.
