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.....?
No, but tell me about it..... please?
