Kinda like getting killed by windmills, only different. Lol Yep... everything has a potentially inherent hazard. Youtube, I think, has some videos of cooking birds in flight...

Excellent idea. This will piss off the environmentalists though....You tell them that using sea water will offset any rise in ocean levels and watch their heads explode!
