Well it’s not often that you get the scoop over boing-boing, so I have to gloat that we were well ahead of the wave here on The Cow:
This article from this morning about a guy who’s just discovered that FAEs can be used for underground pest control.
Yawn. So Last Century…
What next? Blowin up sharks usin a scuba tank an a rifle?
Joey, you might be on to something. I get the picture of a scuba diver shoving an oxygen tank into a sharks mouth… and pulling a trigger. Wow, that would be awesome.
Oh yeah, and way to be ahead of the curve, Anaglyph.
I’m still waiting for a similar device to take out the armadillos under my house. Without of course destroying the house in the process. So maybe when you get tired of congratulating yourself–
Right, like *that* will ever happen.
Seriously though, nice going. With any luck you’ll get an apology from boing-boing for overlooking your grooundbreaking efforts.
Licensed to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man free to kill gophers at will.
should I use that stuff to blow up the cockroaches under my kitchen floor?
All: Now I want to be clear here: these kinds of shenanigans with volatile gases and flame and compressed gases should only be attempted by experienced idiots.
Sharks are not a problem for me, nor are armadillos, so I can’t give advice on speculations entered above but I would be wary of actually getting close enough to a shark to shove a scuba tank down its throat.
As for cockroaches, well, I can only advise that you get a cat weird and anonymous. My little guy seems more than happy to tackle my cockroach problem.
In the absence of a Glitch of your own, if you live in Sydney “Stop Creep” is the only way to go – 2 Russian Australians dab pink stuff around you apartment & the next day – no more cockroaches … at all … for a year … not even their dead bodies … freaky but brilliant
Good advice, Revrend!
But if one IS gonna shove a scuba tank down a sharks froat, my advice woud be t use a tank OTHR than th one yer usin fer yer own dam oxygin.
“Man Kills Shark, Drowns” aint xackly what Id call a heroick hedline!
