The Cabbages of the Great North Make Surprisingly Good Weapons

Now the Dr. Professor Scientist wouldn’t look at me with too kind eyes for releasing such secret knowledge upon the world, but I cannot resist.

Upon scouring the loose pages that were found inside a dead slug I found this excerpt from his Diary:

It has been a hectic 48hours. Days upon days of only Northern Cabbage in my food bowl, has quite literally made me lose my mind.

I can’t quite recall the events, but a soldier oh so kindly revealed(after only mild threats of demotion) that I had flung my bowl, with its cabbages still inside across the room. Just a moment before crawling an all tables in the mess hall and like a royal asswipe of a cat, pushed all the bowls on the floor.

I’ll cut some of the more embarrassing parts out of my diary in case it somehow falls into hands of anyone else. On the next morning I reviewed the tapes of untold cabbages being fired out of my magnificent weapon, to my surprise it was quite effective.

It being quite effective is a bit of a lie, it isn’t even close to as good as any other projectile, but it serves to lessen my hatred of the damned vegetable.

To my luck I have a source from inside the fabled (non-existent of course) Weapons Testing Facility 404 that provided me with this short clip from the footage:



I wish everyone that gazes on this secretive website to only share it to those they truly trust in. We wouldn’t want knowledge of our knowledge to spread.
