They used their own tanks to train the dogs and so rather than running under German tanks, they preferred to run under Soviet tanks.

I.e. the bats all flew into the nearby hangar and it burned down.

Is that it, do I have it correct? Clearly a true story.

I cracked a joke about feeding the entire owl population and he apparently still isn't ready to joke about it. They should pick whichever breed is most likely to chase down and kill an owl, see how they like it.

The other reason the anti-tank dog program failed is the dogs would crawl under the tanks but mechanism to activate the bomb wouldn't work if the dog didn't move it's head and neck upwards, and we all know that dogs can't look up.

Is that it, do I have it correct? I said I read in a cheesy book almost 20 years ago, so no I'm not going to stand behind it as fact. But yeah going into the middle of nowhere to blow poo poo up is a "redneck" thing to do. (I've done it and it rules but we used watermelons and RC cola) And I'm no lawyer but I'm pretty sure blowing up an animal for fun is animal cruelty, a "crime". And critter traps are like $40, you can get them at any hunting store

Dienes posted:Skinner trained pigeons, known for their visual acuity, to serve as guidance systems for missiles. Despite success, the US government didn't trust pigeon-guided missiles and scrapped the project to develop computer guidance. The British had a nuclear mine intended to be buried in Germany in the event of an invasion and detonated once the Soviet armies had advanced to that point. Problem: it might be very cold, and this would rapidly drain the batteries of the mines and prevent detonation. Proposed solution: Put a chicken inside the mine body, with food and water for 8 days, and its body heat will keep the mine operational.

Pigeon guided missiles lead to pigeon guided space rockets. First pigeon on the moon. The space pigeon shuttle. The lack of military interest in computers means cheap microprocessors are never developed, that IBM guy was right and there are only a few dozen tape to tape mainframes in use. Fast forward to 2018 and every home has their own pigeon coop so we can play pigeon games and post on the PigeonNet.
