ok all you bored Glumbertarians, and especially you aviation buffs. Submitted for your entertainment.
This is my favorite classic footage of a Seattle area legend.
Alvin (Tex) Johnston has since passed away, but this guy is my kinda man. Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ546BEps-M
What sort of dangerous animals would people be hunting with this thing? It seems like it would do a lot of damage to the meat and/or skin (so you couldn't stuff it) of the animal, and that kind of negates most of the point of most hunting. The only exception I can think of is if you are hunting elephants for tusks or something like that...
And I think I'd prefer a gun in any case, not a knife with trigger. What happens if the animal moves and so you only graze it with the knife while you are pressing the trigger? You then are standing right next to a dangerous, but only slightly wounded animal with a discharged knife and will probably be dead very soon...
As I understand it, it was originally created as a self defense weapon for divers to be used against sharks and such. Most projectile weapons are pretty much useless underwater and harpoons are a little cumbersome, but this would pretty much take care of a shark. Of course, you'd have to get him before he bit you, and it's a very close range weapon....
I dunno, you ever seen or heard of this before Miter?
No I haven't court, I do like your line of thought of it being a shark defense tool. I have been diving with a harpoon gun and they are very cumbersome, slow to reload and not something you'd want to have for shark defense. But this "gizmo" would sure do the job! Up here on dry land....I'll stick with lead and gunpowder thank you very much!
If a shark REALLY wants to eat you there is sadly very little defense.
Bang sticks only work once so you gotta be accurate
Shock-pacs can work but not when the shark is fully frenzied (and to my knowledge they've not been tested properly against great whites, bulls or tigers in a feeding mode)
Dyes, clapping underwater and shouting all have the same 'useful' rating as a chocolate fireguard
Punching on the nose or gouging the eyes can work but by then one tend to be in their mouth so maybe a little late in the game
Most apparent defenses don't work. SO LEAVE US THE FUCK ALONE AND BEHAVE SENSIBLY WHEN IN OUR DOMAIN YOU FINLESS CLUMSY FUCKERS!
I tried using this for carving turkey for Thanksgiving.... Had the same effect..... I guess the cops wouldn't have come if it wasn't the neighbor's turkey... or if I had their permission to carve it.... or if it was already cooked..... That gobbling sound just got on my nerve...
Charlie was fixing a door and found that he needed a new hinge, so he sent his wife Mary to Home Depot - Home improvement outlet.
At Home Depot, Mary saw a beautiful bathroom faucet while she was waiting for Walt the manager to finish waiting on a customer.
When Walt was finished with the customer, Mary asked 'How much for that faucet?'
Walt replied, 'That's pewter and it costs $300.
''My goodness that sure is a lot of money!' Mary exclaimed. Then she proceeded to describe the hinge that Charlie had sent her to buy, and Walt
went to the back room to find it. From the
back room Walt yelled, 'Mary, you wanna screw for that hinge?
'Mary replied, 'No, but I will for the faucet.'..................
And this is why you can't send a woman to Home Depot.
Anyway, the only good that come out of this item is for killing sharks and misbehaving football fans that haven't organised their 'meets' away from the normal folk who enjoy sport. You know who you are.
