Awesome Toy!

Cyclefrance · 06-17-2007, 07:02 PM

My older son usually takes some ridiculous toy when he goes to Le Mans each year (he went this week) - this year it was a giant catapult affair that launches water bombs a claimed 300 feet (I'm waiting to hear if he has been strung up by the French as a result!). I thought (quietly to myself, naturally) that this was pretty awesome - then, blow me down, in today's paper there was an item about a saucer-shaped object that floats unassumedly in the swimming pool and is remote-controlled - the operator can surreptitiously position the object opposite a chsoen victim, line it up and then shoot a jet of water over 10 feet in their direction.

Now, should I tell my son about this.....?
