Agreed. That bit wasn't the most plausible suggestion in the article.

I've seen/heard a sonic cannon in action. It was quite impressive, and unsettling in the same way as an earthquake: disortienting reality, visually as well as audibly. It entirely may be shaking of the eyes that causes visual distortions, though it seems some other sense else is being affected as well: I'm waiting for the next earthquake to do further bioassays. seek np: phon.o - partition b --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
