I've actually often wondered when they'd eventually use animals in these conflicts, if somebody hasn't before. Although I was thinking some poor dog or something with a Dark Knight-style Joker stomach bomb :oops:

Didn’t we used to train dolphins to fix mines to the bottoms of German boats? I can’t imagine any of those coming out in one piece.

QI last night educated me in the use of seagulls in anti U-Boat action in WWI (though, from what Mr Fry told us, this was a big FAIL).

I saw that on Coast too. Something about training sea gulls to associate submarines with being fed, and yes it was a major fail. :mrgreen:

They sent a slamhound on Turner's trail in New Delhi, slotted it to his pheromones and the color of his hair. It caught up with him on a street called Chandni Chauk and came scrambling for his rented BMW through a forest of bare brown legs and pedicab tires. Its core was a kilogram of recrystallized hexogene and flaked TNT.
He didn't see it coming. The last he saw of India was the pink stucco facade of a place called the Khush-Oil Hotel.


William Gibson got there before you....

On last nights QI, they said that in WW1 we trained seagulls to flock towards periscopes. That way we'd know where the German subs were before they surfaced.

So in between ****ing the donkeys they find time to strap explosives to them.

Maybe it's like a Napoleonic musket? You need a ram rod to get the ammunition in.
