...angriest medium ever, also shored up by the majority of comments below this paper’s editorials. Take the example of ‘Pabruce,’ the most active contributor to the novel and its ready diva. Among other things, Pabruce introduced a non-lethal drug called strychnine that would become a “code word for global warming”. When another user wrote his theatrical voice into the novel, however, this Ms. Ross figure deleted all his edits, nearly scuttling the nascent work. Days later, he returned, chastened, as ‘Lewis Oswald...

Pirates' sea legs would be no help if they couldn't get their footing, so the spray would make boarding and hijacking vessels difficult. Another option is the long-range acoustic device or LRAD, originally developed by the U.S. military and manufactured by American Technology Corporation. This 33-inch dish emits a sound blast of up to 150 decibels, deafening...
