silly string and your every day soldier

I just read the oddest thing that I think would actually work.

Marcelle Shriver of New Jersey is asking for donations of Silly String to send to soldiers in Iraq, but not for goofing off purposes... it helps them detect trip wires for hidden IED's.

Scary thing? The stuff makes sense.

To read more about it, go here and read for yourself!

All in all, I know what I'm putting in my friend's care packages this year... I just hope it's not on TSA's prohibited items list.
