Title: Oh, now they made the little flying bug from Lexx, too...
Post by: Manedwolf on October 09, 2007, 05:34:20 AM


Supposedly a spy thing, featured on Fox.

I see that unlike the LEXX "bug bomb", this one doesn't have a head to fall off.  grin

Better not fly too close to your mark, he/she might inhale it...

I imagine the production version is coated in strychnine for just that reason.

Or a little sting with venom.

How's it (or is it) controlled?  And powered?

Poison?  Venom?  Chemicals?
You guys are thinking all wrong.
C4.  Shouldn't take much.

Nasty! Just enough to completely demolish one tooth! I can see a battlefield full of soldiers dropping their guns, clamping their hands over their mouths and rolling around...

I think these were designed for spying...not assasination.

Though the idea of a remote-controlled bug going up bin Laden's nose and then exploding is a good one.

Indeed! But by the way, that thing in your picture is cute as a bug. I want thirty dozen.
