Was that near Pittsburgh? Perhaps near Carnegie Mellon? A *lot* of
school spirit up that way, I've heard.

When they perfect a watermelon gun that produces an air burst, spitting
the seeds for miles around, THEN it might be cool.

Or maybe a "daisy cutter" version that features a low-altitude burst,
planting the seeds over a defined "germination zone". Cooler still.

Or maybe a Claymore "pop-up" version? Now we're talkin'!

Those Carnegie Mellon people are mere amateurs if they haven't gotten on
these projects.

And how come no one's come up with a honeydew gun, anyway?
