I guess around WW2 the Brits were considering using LSD as a non-lethal weapon and tested the effects. Youtube video:

Another weird thing i read about was in 1994 the Air Force considered a "gay bomb" that would contain pheromones that were supposed to make the enemy turn gay(or just so horny they'd fuck anything around) and make them unable to fight. It was of course canned.

If your into Cold War History and NBC warfare, check out "Biohazard" by Ken Alibeck. Ken was a Colonel in the Soviet military in charge of the Bio weapons program in the late 70's through the collapse of Soviet Russia. Some of the stuff is really scary, some of it is watered down, as far as I am concerned, coming from a semi-medical background. Ken also taught at GMU's Biology department for a while as well.

I've read some articles by Alibeck and it's definitely some scary shit.

Also, there's two books written by Richard Preston, one's called 'The Hot Zone' and I'm not sure of the second but I beleive that Dr. Alibeck is mentioned more than a few times.

"With one man climbing a tree to feed the birds"

Haha...that's pretty crazy stuff.

Richard Preston's "The Hot Zone" was a pretty good read indeed.
