Thankgod for moscow news, nothing else quite like it
I still insist though killer tomatoes could have been one of these hidden projects that are present in the old KGB files. 
My idea is that at the height of the cold war in the 70s the KGB special division were going to release them in western germany to force the world to beg the soviet dictatorship to stop them in exchange for accepting communist puppet goverements set up in western europe. |

Which reminds me of an article that I read recently: apparently in Russia it is still possible to get subsidies for projects that involve the domestication of elks  This is an old Soviet remnant.. The whole idea of it was that elks could be valuable as domestic animals in northern territories.
From a Swedish example they already knew elks were useless in the army (they would get scared and run away into the fforest as soon as the enemy was engaged), but they tried to use them for transport of goods: a mature elk can carry up to 2000 kilo's. Unfortunately a mature elk is more of a sprinter than a long-distance animal, so this didn't work.
They tried to breed them on farms, for milk and meat. A few setbacks here too: elks are solitary animals and not really suited to be kept in groups. Besides that, they are jumpy and a bit dangerous to milk. And then their nipples were also kind of hard to reach for the farmers.
But still, some elk farms remain in Russia. No one knows why... |

WOW! that was funny... If not for the milk, Elk meat is very tasty and the leather is very supple.
Elk do herd together it is the bulls that are solitary but they still follow a herd during mating and in rut.
militarys have been using animals as weapons long time. i seem to remember a story i read about America using bats as bombs. They would cpture bats put time boms on them and some how drop the tempature in a so called bomb full of bats when they realeased the bomb the bats would wake up and fly to a dark crevis in a hous or barn and then blow up causing the houses to catch fire.
also remember story about training dalphins to disarming mines in sea. ports
and dont forget pigins have been used to deliver mesages before beter ways of distant comunication was inveted and still even after. |

Yes, rotten tomatoes can be one of the most lethal forms of ammunition around.
This reminds me of the Great Apple War of 1982. A group of unruly childhood friends of mine, divided into two teams separated by a creek, engaged in mass bombardment of each other while armed with nasty, worm-infested wild apples. The standard tactic was to take several bites from the fruit (while avoiding the worms, of course) before hurling them at the opposing team at full force. Talk about germ warfare at it’s best.

Yes, hooves of a female Elk are not to be reckoned with - neither are the antlers of Bull Elk. Steer clear of those buggers. They truly are jumpy animals, and noisy as hell when looking for a mate . . . very poor candidates for the military.
Elk meat is excellent, and very low in saturated fat. I had some Elk Jerky once, very over-priced - but worth it. |

The tomatoes I mean have teeth, bad attitudes, a russian language, eyes and hunger for human blood. |
