SPIKE

STORY FROM LA TIMES
PETER PAE

Engineers at the Mojave Desert base are developing a miniature missile that can be launched from a robotic plane against terrorist targets. Reporting from China Lake, Calif. -- A 5-pound missile the size of a loaf of French bread is being quietly tested in the Mojave Desert north of Los Angeles as the military searches for more deadly and far more precise robotic weapons for modern warfar

In the next month or so, researchers at the Naval Air Warfare Center at China Lake expect to test a 2-foot-long Spike missile that is about a "quarter of the size of the next smallest on the planet," said Steve Felix, the missile project's manager.

THIS IS REALLY GREAT NEWS FOR DRUG DEALERS AND TERRORISTS OF ANY SIZE, SHAPE OR FORM
I IMAGINE SPIKE WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE NEXT ARMS TRADE SHOW IN DUBAI

DOES ANYBODY THINK THAT SPIKE WON'T BE MASSED PRODUCED AND SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDERS?

CHINA and RUSSIA PROBABLY HAVE THEIR OWN VERSIONS OF SPIKE AND THAT MEANS THAT EVERY WARLORD, PIRATE AND DRUG TRAFFICKER WILL SOON BE THE PROUD OWNERS OF THEIR OWN SET OF MISSILES....THE SIZE OF A LOAF OF FRENCH BREAD.

I can actually hear the e-mail orders coming in from Somali, Columbia and the Sudan as I type.

Tattoo's of SPIKE are being added to parlor catalogs
and
the
world
just got a bit wackier.

WAS THIS REALLY A STORY THAT NEEDED TO BE COVERED BY THE LA TIMES?

Do you personally feel better knowing that SPIKE is up and running?

Would you like to have your own SPIKE?

How about that Dodger offense?
