Re: Soldiers and Silly String....
I can imagine it now... Soon soldiers will be using Rube Goldberg devices to clear out minefields.

Re: Soldiers and Silly String....
Not to start too much of an off-topic quibble, but a Rube Goldberg device is the exact opposite of what that article describes. The article shows that people have come up with an efficient and simple low-tech solution to a problem. A Rube Goldberg device, by definition, would be unnecessarily complex.
