Brodys' revenge.

Aqm3633 We probably all remember how the Intrepid Police chief finally got rid of that pesky great white shark in Jaws. Now a company has taken that rather 'explosive' idea a little further. The 'WASP Injector Knife' contains  a CO2 canister in the handle which, when a small button on the hilt is triggered, injects a blast of 850psi gas through a channel in the knife's blade, inflating the target with a painful and debilitating pocket of gaseous pain. According to rumours and speculation, this nasty little thing will sell for about $400 and be made available to the general public. To be honest, I really wouldn't like to get within knife range of a shark just to find you've forgotten to put in that little cannister of instant death. It would probably be a damn messy thing to clear up afterwards as well.

  • We welcome comments but we ask that you observe our guidelines. We like readers who are prepared to stand by their comments by offering their 'real' first and last name - it adds validity to your comments. Stick to the topic and keep it clean. Personal attacks on individuals, bad language and unsubstantiated rumours have no place here. It's OK to be edgy, but if you're going to engage in name-calling and boorish behaviour take it elsewhere in cyberspace.
