can i get a "hail yeah"?

In what might be the most spectacular collision of 21st century technology with redneck sensibilities since hunting deer on the internet, farmers in the central valley of California are hoping to keep hail off of their crops by shooting giant booming cannons at the sky.

I really have nothing to add to this, except to say that right now I wish I was a California citrus farmer so I'd have a plausible reason to buy a hail cannon.

The genius of rabid humans knows no bounds ..... yes, the inventors of internet hunting must surely have moved on to this. Possibly they can invent a way for each of us to participate in the military from our computers ...... possibly wipe out a terrorist or chalk up some collateral damage while still in our pajamas. An interesting concept ... and so very patriotic - n'est ce pas?
