Of course, this is probably coming from the same law firms who helped the Supreme Court define corporations as people. Now corporate bribery of politicians can be defined as "free speech" because GE is a person just like you and me.
The first movie, when it hit the theaters in 1977 was something fresh and new. Guess what folks: Star Wars was originally ONE movie-- the "Episode " was a nod to the old movie serials.
Then they had to create a sequel, which was OK. Then to milk money off the rising Star Wars cult, came more "episodes" sequels and prequels which supposedly were some sort of rumored nine part saga.
It is an industry. And it has been milked dry. Time to let it die.
"So if you saw a streak of light in the sky, and you thought you've been wishing upon a falling star, think again. That may just be some astronaut's underwear."
Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville restaurants marked house brand rums and tequilas. Both are reasonably priced and far better than most bars' well liquors.
Tried Crystal Skull Vodka. I did not know Akroyd was associated with it. The skull was the only selling point. The contents would strip the anti radar finish off an Area 51 spacecraft. Apparently the crystals' mystical properties do not include making bad vodka palatable. Shoulda used a pyramid.
I went back and looked at the website and now I realize why it was screaming fraud.
The complete and utter lack of ballistic figures. If I invented and tested a super bullet, I would be telling the whole world what it could do.
This guy? About the only information is the bullet weight and diameter.
The firing demo videos show only someone firing rapidly with no appreciable recoil. Could be light loads or blanks. I'd be more impressed if he showed the target after firing. Not convinced anything even hit the target.
Solid round shot may have had a line of flight damage path. But those iron balls packed quite a wallop. There are many accounts of battles where men had their feet and/or legs torn off by cannon ball rolling by at a fairly low speed. Solid shot was being phased out during the American Revolution. More effective were cannister rounds. Imagine a shotgun firing a shell 3 1/2 to 41/2 inches wide. instead of being loaded with No 6 birdshot, the shells are filled with lead or iron balls ranging in size from golf balls to racquetballs. Now you want to risk standing in front of one of them? They also had shrapnel shells hollow cannon balls filled with gunpowder and musket balls and fused to explode on target.
BTW Naval cannon was effective against ship hulls because the solid shot from a 32 pounder demi-cannon (these guns weighed 3400 lbs or more) could penetrate three feet of oak at 300 ft. Most shops of the line also included cannon firing 42 pound shot. Also siding naval artillery was the use of chain shot, bar shot and cannister.
During the 14-15 centuries, this little item was of vital importance to Medieval knights at tournaments. Wearing the plate armor of the day was a complicated proposal and knights needed a squire to assist in strapping the padded arming doublet and armor pieces in place. And once buttoned up inside the armor, a quick unzipping to answer the call of nature was out of the question. This problem was solved in the 1377 tournament season by a French nobleman, Guy DePissoir. He invented what was commonly known as the "friend of the kinght" or "Le ami de cavalier." The top bracket clipped onto the bottom of the Fauld (the plates covering the groin at the bottom of the Cuirasse or breastplate). Notice the four settings: this made the device adjustable so it fit everyone from little "Prince John" all the way up to Henry size VIII. For ease of use the glass container, or monkey, swiveled in the frame allowing the squire to assist his knight in "Draining ye Monkye."

Now THAT'S a skidmark!

Something about the company website just screams fraud.
Iggy pop? Not even at 1000 yards.
To me Paul Revere does not look much like Jack Black. He looks more like Bob Hope.

Apparently they have met Camilla.
From the name "Rouge Squadron" I was expecting more use of Avon products . . .
