Military Applications of Silly String
Hat tip to Geek Press for this interesting story. Alejandro Hernandez, during his stay in Iraq, found an interesting use for Silly String. When entering a building, this wonderful toy of children, teenagers, and drunk college students turns into a tripwire detection tool. He sprayed it across the room, and a tripwire could be detected because the foam string would lightly rest on the wire. Pictures of the Silly String in action are at this link.
Donations of Silly String are requested for Hernandez's brother, currently performing similar duties in Iraq.
