Well yeah, but needed to associate them with the nazis, not Germany, and calling them the other combination is something like Nazigers or [racist term].

The Nazis actually had a one-man torpedo or something like that called the Neger (Nigger).

What's the difference between a one-man torpedo as opposed to another kind? I assume it's something to do with size, but I'm not exactly knowledgeable on the subject.

Anyway, Goat Simulator. I watched the trailer and needed to change my pants. This game looks amazing.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Usually they're no-man torpedoes, since they go boom when reaching their target.

Well yeah, but Joe Everyman would think of this when hearing the word 'torpedo'.

There is an example in the "Japan" section, the Kaiten human torpedo, which is an actual torpedo with an actual dude driving it.

I bought some had soap yesterday, and when I used it, I felt an odd burning sensation on my hands. Not a "ohmygodmyfleshismelting" burning, but more of a "oh hey, my hands are radiating heat" kind of thing. It wasn't necessarily unpleasant, though. Either something is wrong, or I may have suddenly discovered that the secret to fire magic is shea butter hand soap.

I believe they also had manned V1s.
One manned V1, flown by a volunteer ace pilot to work out some of the glitches. Pretty sure they had a bail-out system.
I think, IIRC, other caveats.
