I thought we could compose a list of all the religious names weapons of
war. I based this on the movie 'Planet Of The Apes' and the line from
the movie, "We worship the bomb".

I will start of with the Peacemaker missile and the Crusader tank.

eh?

I think war itself is a religion. Some might disagree.

Now if I tell you may spiritual weapons wouldn't that leave me
defensless......

I'll tell you there all in the Bible......

Good point. They say in football the best defense is a good
offense.

The first nuclear bomb detonated at Alamogordo, New Mexico on July 16,
1945 was blasphemously named “Trinity”.

The molten rock that was transformed by that nuclear explosion, and can
still found at the site today, is called “Trinitite”

Rainbow:

I think you mean the Peacemaker aircraft. It was originally designed to
be the first plane to carry the "earthquake" bomb, BLU daisy-cutter. I'm
pretty sure the first of these bombs went by the name "daisy" which,
though not religious, is a pretty contemptible title for such a bomb.

They work by detonating about 6 feet before they hit the ground (this is
the "daisy cutter" part from a special fuse), and then depending on the
contents of the bomb, they can have various effects. One common way they
are used is to put a GX slurry compund in the bomb, and when it
detonates it will send out a pressure way that is roughly 1000 psi. Most
living things in the 600 ft blast radius will die from suffocation if
not from the initial explosion because the pressure evacuates the air
for a minute or two. If other chemicals are mixed in the bomb, it will
actually ignite and combust with the oxygen, so then you can't breathe
and you also have to deal with fire everywhere. These are pretty
horrible weapons... but named "daisy."

From Monty Python & The Holy Grail****

The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

& the count shall be 3, countest thou not to 5.....& 6 is right out.

I was gonna say that..monty python..hilarius

I couldn't resist, it was the first thing that popped into my mind when
I read the thread. They are beyond hilarious...I love all their
stuff......too funny those guys. Life of Brian ruffled some feathers,
but that's one of the best things about comedy, it is
non-discriminatory!!

Heres some for you Rainbow.

B2 'stealth' bomber. - SPIRIT
M109 155mm self propelled artillery gun - PALADIN (NOBEL WARRIOR FOR
GOD) eeek.
M7 self propelled gun - PRIEST (must speak the word explosively I
reckon)
Peacekeeper nuclear ballistic missle system.
Peacemaker strategic bomber.

I never saw any of these films, have I missed something???

Andrea, if you get the chance to rent them, do it. They're hilarious. I
think you'll enjoy them.

Thanks Harry, I'll try, but in a very small city like Kilkenny the
opportunities are quite limited.

So true about Monty Python films. I got a chance to watch the creator of
the Monty Python Flying Circus on PBS. I especially like the big foot
coming down. I guess one has to have a real sense of humor to enjoy
satire.
