It merely repels birds by emitting different noises. Using varying sounds that make them believe a predator is about it will scare off birds within one acre of this fascinating little contraption.

Shark attacks a shark repelling gadget

, Mar 4th 2008 Discuss [8]

I currently live smack dab in the Midwest, putting me too far away from the ocean to care about sharks. My biggest concern is dodging raccoons and deer on the road.

, Jan 18th 2008 Discuss [0]

My brother and I tended to have all kinds of battles, usually involving Super Soakers, Nerf guns and the occasional rubber band gun. That is until one of us got mad or injured.

Which makes me drool with envy over a rubber band gun that could propel 288 rubber bands in his general direction. Read The Full Story

For those that like keeping their plants pampered this Oxygenating Watering Can is just the thing to keep you plants looking healthy. Read The Full Story
