Re: Jerky's comment, and a few others I got a confirmation from the Marines that, yup, it's an ADS Humvee being delivered from a Raytheon factory on Long Island. No information on where it was headed, however.

Actually if Christ and all the fucks that died in his name got together and staged a big fart-in and fuck them gig, the world would be a better place. Yes? No?

That's a different dish than the ADS, plus the ADS is not going into production until 2010. It most likely a communication satellite dish, or some sort of radar support for a missile system or surveillance.

Then Jesus made the Popemobile? He IS all-powerful!

You would think the Vicar of Christ wouldn't need a man-made ray gun to protect him. Couldn't Jesus do it for free?

Imagine if they had ADS during the civil rights movement, or the 60's... Protest has already been neutered. They will force people to become violent, and to take up arms.

The military outsources a large amount of work.. but you bring up a good point. The assertion that this particular vehicle has the ADS only comes from a flickr caption. No supporting information is given. It doesn't seem to match the picture of an ADS-equipped Humvee that is on Wikipedia (via DOD).

That is not a military trailer. Military trailers do not have chrome wheels.

Do they make a pocket version of ADS? Are you sure it's an ADS or is it just a giant satellite dish to bring in reruns of "Baywatch?"

Ph: No, not really. There is a weapon in the book, but it's more like a huge bomb than a shit-your-pants ray.

#2 I think any work of fiction had some passing reference to an "atomic beam cannon ray gun blaster."

I'd love to get my hands on a pooping gun. The possibilities!

You know, I hate to reference to the literary dreck that was Atlas Shrugged, but didn't they have a beam weapon like this in that book, wielded by the government? Eerie.

The military has a gun that also makes you take a huge shit right there and then. I wonder why they never use it on protestors? I'd pay to see a whole group of angry people all of a sudden needing to pop a squat.
