- Retractable cheek extensions. Inspired by the hammerhead shark, the rationale behind this idea was that should multiple US personnel need to be simultaneously clothes-lined and removed from duty, this would provide the perfect, covert means to do so. It was Stalin's realization that they could have simply used their arms that signalled the closing of the program and the withdrawal of all funding."

So yeah, the KGB was pretty weird.  :-\


wat
This is how I imagine they pitched it to Stalin:

Spoiler
The two predators are US operatives who are getting a little too nosy. I play the part of the Russian spy with the modified cheeks (my hands in this demonstration). At 0:04 the cheeks begin to extend and are fully extended by 0:06. At 0:07 I clothesline the operatives. I then retreat, look around and retract the cheeks before saying standard Russian gibberish.

I have nothing against religion. I prefer targeting individuals rather than just using swift and unfair generalizations.

That is horrible. Just horrible. :(

By the way she mentioned Vice. Highly recommend it. On HBO, journalism without a censor or a bias. It's an eye opening experience seeing the kind of stuff that goes on in this world.

Lol it sounds like you just made that up while you were writing it.... It is the KGB though.
Ok, I have the book in my hand, here's a quote:

"In the Fall of 1950, five years after the official end of the second World War and a year after the Berlin Blockade that began the Cold War, Stalin personally granted the People's Commisar of State Security, Vsevolod Merkulov, $50 million dollars (an enormous sum for a research grant at the time) to look into improving covert operations in the United States using animal biology. In the months that followed, numerous concepts were considered, including:

- Taking enzymes from giraffe necks to help field agents see over tall, secret US walls
- Reconnecting nerve fibers from the occipital lobe in the human brain to artificially implanted eagle eyes in the back of the head, so that agents could see what was behind them, thereby avoiding a US sneak attack
- Transplanting gorilla fists onto the arms of field operatives, in case the job required something to be smashed
- Retractable cheek extensions. Inspired by the hammerhead shark, the rationale behind this idea was that should multiple US personnel need to be simultaneously clothes-lined and removed from duty, this would provide the perfect, covert means to do so. It was Stalin's realization that they could have simply used their arms that signalled the closing of the program and the withdrawal of all funding."

So yeah, the KGB was pretty weird.  :-\

It's good to know they had money to burn. f**k's sake.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. They tried putting springs in the heels of their agents to help them jump higher. Ultimately they got the balancing wrong and their agents kept flying head first into walls.

Religion in general is the cause of many problems though.

No. Human ignorance is the cause of many problems. True people will use religion as a way of justifying their actions but it doesn't make it the problem. The people are.

Religion encourages ignorance. :)
