10. Operation Paperclip
After WWII, Nazis fled Germany like rats fleeing a sinking ship.
In addition to being Nazis, some of them also happened to be brilliant scientists.
The US wanted those scientists, badly.
So, in what was either a PR move to cover their own asses, or a security measure to protect the far-from-innocent, they cooked up brand-spankin-new identities for them and gave them American citizenship. Yea, nicht gut.
11. The US Navy’s Combat Dolphins
This sounds like a ridiculous joke, but somehow isn’t. And it’s funded to the tune of $14 million annually. Look it up.
12. FrankenMonkey
Hot on the heels of the first-ever successful kidney transplant, a team of (mad) scientists wanted to find out whether it would be possible to pull off a human head transplant.
But, not being total monsters (sarcasm) they decided to perfect the technique on other animals before trying it on a living breathing homosapien.
Mostly dogs and monkeys.
If that’s not enough to make you swear off Mountain Dew for good, there’s no hope for you.
