Yea, like the wheel. That was obviously designed with military intentions; roll a giant stone wheel down a hill and you've killed like half their army.
How about electricity? You know when he was flying that kite it was ACTUALLY a stealth bomber he was electrically charging for devestating firepower?
Or how about the humble lightbulb we use to destroy subterranean aliens who are light sensitive?
Or icecream. We all know what icecream is for.

I think the idea that the military pushes out lots of "Innovation" is fucking ridiculous. Which republican asshole gave you that stupid idea? Or the, "War creates good economy" idea. Yea, cause, look at this economy. Fucking fantastic. Let's go kill korea.
