"The Race suits will be worn by Bode Miller and the rest of the US and Canadian Ski teams at this winter’s Olympics in Turin. "

So how did that work out for them?

Polyethylene glycol is most commonly known as antifreeze it is the same glycolicized ethyl alcohol that you run in your car's radiator.

This is most likely to insure that the armor doesn't freeze up on our soldiers when we invade Canada.

We really do have capabilities that are classified and look like majic. Our enemies have no idea what we can do to them. Just wait until we get really serious! All modesty aside, a few of those ideas were mine; hence, my moniker.

A while back a muzzie ambushed a GI as he came around a corner and shot him point blank in the face. The muzzie was about to celebrate thinking he killed an infidel but when he saw the soldier standing firm and still holding the rifle at him he dropped his gun and surrendered on the spot. The GI caught the bullet right in his front tooth displacing it. He didn't even realize he'd been shot till he felt the blood running down his face.

Stories like that really scare the muzzies.

We should gather up all these stories and even the hints and guesses and publish them in comic book form for easy reading by our enemy. Remind them that they have a lot to worry about, and they don't even know the half of it.

It's a non-newtonian fluid like ketchup - freaky, aren't they?
