Thirty seconds of this album should get any terrorist out of their hole. Not kidding, I got this album by being on a D.J mailing list.

I wish Ozzy had this album during that episode of the Osbournes when his neighbors were playing their music too loud.

...one of the most fearsome sounds known to humans: a baby crying...might in theory be used against hijackers in a plane cockpit, though the bouncing beams could deafen passengers as well.
On the other hand, they have a point here. One of the most excruciating tortures known to man is to fly on a packed 737 with a screaming baby in the next seat.

How does the FDA have approval administration over a thing like this?

This weapon will be useless in the mid east. Have you ever heard their music?

One I've never managed to listen to all the way is Shatner's cover of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." That's guranateed to drive anyone out of the room.
