The Men Who Stare At Goats

No, not DaRuDe and his buddies ..

Project Jedi was a top-secret military project to create a breed of "super-soldier" who would be fantastically strong and possess superior intelligence, cunning and intuition.

They would use psychic powers to spy on the enemy, disable nuclear bombs with telekinesis, and effortlessly kill with the power of thought alone, the Daily Mail reports.

While Project Jedi is the subject of the soon-to-be-released Hollywood blockbuster The Men Who Stare At Goats, starring George Clooney and Ewan McGregor, it is not entirely fictitious.

The US military did try to create such a breed of supersoldier. And that killing goats with psychic powers was just the tip of the iceberg.
Indeed, the fruits of Project Jedi, and several other clandestine paranormal projects, have been actively used in battle.

"You have to understand that these ideas were not considered wacky," Sergeant Glenn Wheaton, a Special Forces soldier seconded to Project Jedi, told the Mail.
"They were seen as the next military frontier. We needed to know whether it was possible to use paranormal forces for military ends. We also needed to know how to protect ourselves should they be used against us."

THIS creature is a beauty queen and we're not KIDDING.

The black beast won first prize in the Most Beautiful Goat contest in the capital city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The Damascene goat, named Qahr, then posed for photos with proud owner Muhammad Hawas.

No kidding ... rare goat is competition beauty!

were doing the same

"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365

not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the

many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers

were given. Satan - 10."
