I’m so scared. From the New Scientist (via Cabinet of Wonders):

A recently declassified US Army report on the biological effects of non-lethal weapons reveals outlandish plans for “ray gun” devices, which would cause artificial fevers or beam voices into people’s heads.

A longer answer: If you were going to a DJ show, the flier might look like the one above, from a recent gig at KIM by Dyssembler. If you were making porno, you’d get yourself a rubber doll and start making this. (“My Secound Check by Doctor. He is interest how i feel me as a Rubber Doll.”) And if you were making art your group’s name would be AIDS-3D (natch) and you’d make stuff like this:
