WarPorn? FoodPorn? It's Both: Indians Develop... Curry Bomb

The Indians are apparently trying, finally, to wrest the title of Weirdest Country in Asia from Japan.

Sorry, guys. Too little too late. Japan is just too good. They're like the East German Women's Deadlifting Squad at weird shit.

Still, not too shabby:

Indian army chiefs are set to deploy a "curry bomb" to win the war on terror.

India's weapons development experts have developed an eye-watering spice bomb, packed with a potent mix of red chilli and pepper which will be used to smoke out militants during counter-insurgency operations.

...

But scientists from India's Defence Research and Development Organisation have discovered that the spices which make your curry so hot can also bring an enemy to his knees in seconds.

They have created an 81-mm grenade packed with red hot chilli, pepper and phosphorus to use in Kashmir where Islamic separatists linked with al Qaeda are fighting a long-running insurgency war.

Ummm... how do you get the terrorists to eat the grenade?

PS, while I'm addressing Indians, I'd like to say this:

Yes, the power is on, I have checked that all my cables and connections are securely in place, and yes indeed, believe it or not, it did occur to me to try turning the computer and/or router and/or modem off and on again several times to see if that cleared the problem.

That did occur to me -- the turning it off and on again trick. I didn't even have to check the Troubleshooting Guide for that one, I thought of it all on my own.

Believe it or not, I actually try to do simple fixes myself before calling "Jimbo" (as he identifies himself) at the Help Center. It's not like I just call you guys because you seem pretty cool and I think we could all be buddies, going on crazy adventures together and solving groovy mysteries.

Can we move on now? We all know we're going to the Control Panel anyway, let's just go there straightaway, okay?

Thank you.
