That's not much incentive to fight fair then, is it

This pirate story (see yesterday’s post) just keeps getting cooler and cooler. Apparently, the luxury cruise ship that was attacked off the coast of Somalia used a sonic weapon to fend off its attackers. The weapon shoots a high-pitched bang along a tight beam to a specific target. Though inaudible to passengers on the cruise ship, it was so loud and obnoxious to the pirates that they were forced to turn away.

It’s probably for the best that I don’t have one of those. I would definitely use it for evil awesome rather than good.
