Oh my - who'd have thought it .... back in WWII the British Government assisted by Canadian and American scientists developed a new and lethal bomb made from poison infused sewing needles! I came across this article recently in the Danger Room and couldn't quite believe what I read ... but yes it appears to be true.
Apparently the bomb never made it into full production because it had "little penetrating power" .... Now speaking from personal experience I can honestly say it hurts ALOT when you stab yourself with a needle but maybe I'm not as thick skinned as those weapons men?

I knew quilting could be dangerous but I thought it was my bank balance that was at risk.
Seriously, same technology believed to be in the umbrella which poisoned Georgi Markov in 1978.
Dangerous past time sewing!
