    <p>yea, i am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" and $200 is laughably cheap.</p>

    <p>Tie a (small) stick of gelignite to it and light the fuse - see what happens.  Actually, Barry Crump wrote a story about that, but it was a hawk and it circled back and flew into their hut. </p>

    <p>Has anyone got one of those little robot vacuum cleaners? I'm assuming that if they were the miracle they look to be, I'd hear all my friends raving about them - but, they don't.</p>

    <p>When I was at high school, we went on a rugby trip to Geraldine and got billeted out. I got sent to this wealthy farming family out of town.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>When we arrived at the place, their (fairly deaf and not surprising) father said, "Oh, are you going to fire the gun, boys?"</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I thought we'd be going rabbit shooting, but these fuckers had bought an old artillery gun at an auction.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>They welded a base on a piece of metal piping, filled it up with blasting powder, inserted a fuse, tamped it all down with dirt - stuck a bigger bit of metal piping over the top - shoved it all in the breech and lit the fuse.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>We waited, with hands over ears.....................................................................then <span style="font-size:36px;">BOOM</span>....WFFWHIP, WFFWHIP, WFFWHIP... as the metal piping spun through the air.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>They reckoned it had a range of about a kilometre.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Not sure OSH would be too impressed about that as a school trip activity, these days!</p>

    <p>They might be better then. Dogmeat's saying above you could get them somewhere for $200 pre-ordered though.</p>

    <p>Was an acquaintance who told me - he has ordered one so I will check the price. Wouldn't surprise me if he was exaggerating</p>
