That's News To Me

I used to look for oddball stuff on purpose. Now, it just spills out of the cart into the aisles unbidden. Today's WTF moment came with the discovery that the US Army has taken down its non-lethal "Voice-to-Skull" weapons page on the Web. Its what?

And it was the Christians Against Mental Slavery who noticed it had gone 404.

Wired.com has the whole story, including an artist's conception of the device, which is said to "use microwave transmission of sound into the skull of persons or animals by way of pulse-modulated microwave radiation; and (2) a silent sound device which can transmit sound into the skull of person or animals."

So, what does a silent sound device sound like?
