What are our troops asking for this Christmas season? SILLY STRING! But its not to play around. Apparently the military has discovered a very worthwhile use for the frequent party guest. Silly String can be used to detect rigged entryways.Soldiers spray the string from a distance into a doorway. If the string falls to the floor, its safe to walk thru. If the string hangs or gets caught midair...its rigged.
This is AMAZING!!
Marcelle Shriver is collecting donations to send as many cans of Silly String as she can to the troops. The problem is that its considered a hazardous material. So shes having to hire a private plane to bring it over. Don't worry, they aren't scammers. The guys bringing it over are retired military and are still working by making several trips to and from Iraq doing this kind of thing. So if you want to learn how you can help out email Marcelle at ron101anb@comcast.com .

I heard about this, and I thought it was really cool, one of those kind of ironic things. But, I would have thought the military would supply something so useful. That kind of upsets me that they don't. If Silly String is going to save lives, why not make it accessable to everyone? Oh military...where do your priorities lie?
That totally makes sense. BRIGHT IDEA!
My cousin is in Bahgdad, I'm going to get her this post!! She has a list of things she wants people to send her. Mostly candy and chef boy'rdee products. I think the reason the G'vment doest supply this is because it is aerosol cans, (dangerous to transport)and they are probably in a bidding war over which silly sting company will supply it. You know the Govenment, its all about$$$.
Thats cool. But i dont play with silly string no more so i can send any over lol

I'll be damned, I heard the story on NPR on my way to school tonight! Some company is donating 6000 cans! YEAH!
