Lolque? So, how's the project coming along so far? iffy, I'm in the midst of a graduate paper on (evil-genius friendly enough) the history and science of toxicology. It's about 50 pages long, and draws from primary source materials that need to be translated...mostly from latin, and mostly in terrible handwriting. Most of the intensive work on the doomsday machine plans will be done over the summer, I intend give myself a crash course in meterology sometime in april, and begin researching methods as to how it may be controlled by humans in may. part of me is torn and wants to go a completely different road, manufacturing lightning or giant "wind-rays" instead of a full fledged storm... speaking of storm, how many of you in the midwest have school off tomorrow?

Ohio, were out, but it's due to the flu. The roads and stuff are pretty decent near me.

It's an absolute mess here, 10-12 inches...and it was 70 on wednesday...maybe my weather machine can work through time somehow my research has produced some realizations which have me floored...it looks easier, on just about all levels, to produce a hurricane rather than a tornado... given that hurricanes routinely flatten cities, and tornadoes (me being midwestern) are things I encounter on the way home from school, i'm quite impressed

Hm...I wonder...Are you responsible for all those winter typhoons Taiwan's been getting? They rarely get any typhoons in the winter...

NO2? You mean N20? The US actually came perilously close to training an army of killer fire-bearing bats in WWII, if I remember my history correctly, this is probably the strangest idea anyone has yet offered me. I was actually considering fiddling with algae in the ocean as a means of kickstarting/kickstopping(?) the evaporation that hurricanes feed off...my big problem is that almost all storm systems require rapid cooling at some part of the storm, and rapid cooling of big masses of air is damn hard. EDIT: You were right, NO2 is the atmosphere-scrambling gas, N20 is laughing gas... shame on me First time looking at this topic, and I stopped reading here. They did have this plan where cylinders of some sort would be attached to bats, and the bats would be released in mass numbers against Japanese cities. Because many of the Japanese houses were made of wood and such, the bats would all hurry to find roosts, and after a set amount of time (30 minutes I believe) all these fire things would end up going off, and huge fires would start all over. The project was close to being completed, but was dropped because the atomic bomb was seen as a more expedient alternative.

There's also the spy dolphins. Ball lightning is always good, if you can figure it out.

Ball lightning is always good, if you can figure it out. more and more, my research is pointing towards a tesla-inspired lightning ray as the best approach to this device. The obvioius problems are that A) it's probably the least efficient way to blast apart a target (Laser beats bolt of charged air in almost any criterion you want to rate a weapon*) and B) It's very limited in its destructive capibilities...I'll be annihilating cars and buildings instead of cities and states...then again, it's also probably easier to make than a "weather creating machine" per say. I also have some embryonic ideas of manufacturing huge, highly concentrated, ground-parallel cyclones, like giant whirling cones of air, which could punch holes through buildings. * except the critical "Godfuckingawsomeness" factor

B) is a blessing in disguise, which is more terrifying seeing your neighbor get blown to shit and knowing odds are you're next or suddenly everything just ending.

Step that up a level, a cannon that launches sharks mouth first

The project was close to being completed, but was dropped because the atomic bomb was seen as a more expedient alternative. Project X-Ray. Strangely enough, it was somewhat successful. The bats were mexican free-tailed bats, who enjoy perching on things. The scientists obviously didn't think much about this, because they strapped the firebombs on them, dropped them out of a plane, and burnt down their own facility when the bats returned to it to land. I don't think anyone was killed (except the bats of course).

I gotta look into more of these scraped military projects... This one is quite awesome.

Awsome if you aren't a bat, maybe.

Yeah, that goes whiteout saying. Kamikaze Fire Bats does sound like a wicked band name though.
