Hey.  It took two days to clean up the mess.  The damn thing ruptured 
capiciters, several vials of medicines, and other delicate equipment.  
The worst part was when they destroyed the drinks.

Ever seen bottles of drinks bent out of shape and exploded soft drink 
bottles in a store room before?

Actually yes. About five years ago I built a sonic range gun (it was 
meant to measure distance under adverse conditions) out of an old steel 
parabola and a resonence chamber. At full power and correct focus, it was 
full capable of blowing out windows, bending sheet metal, destroying any 
sort of delicate electrical equipement, what have you. It's still around 
somewhere, but the distortion cannon I was fooling with at Ottawa U. took 
precedence, being potentially (read: if we ever get it working right) 
much more destructive, and easier to use. Anyway, it's in peices because 
they needed the lab back, so nothings happening right this very instant, 
but maybe in about a month when the lab free's up again we will get 
permission to fire it. (at about 700$ a shot, it's difficult to justify 
destroying pop cans)
