High Tech Vs Old Scourge

Mr. Michael Groves has been awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal and Mr Som Bahadur Gurung the Queen's Commendation for Bravery for using a high-pressure water hose and a sonic cannon to protect the Seabourn Spirit cruise liner against a vicious pirate attack.

It's a tale of real bravery, but I just like any story with the words "sonic cannon" in it.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
