Weapon of choice...

According to that nobber of Zoe Ball, the 'Weapon of Choice' for the impossibly prolific screen actor Christopher Walken appears to be dancing about a rather large building and gliding from bannister to bannister.

Which may all be very well, but not much use in battle (unless you're Jet Li or Eat-lotsa-chow And-get Fat), but them New Zealanders have a most unlikely item of bombardment.

For all their effort at WETA and the mass production of warlike armoury, the Kiwis shun the swordsmanship. and go for the animal ammunitions, for one of the preferred methods of attack is the launching of the hedgehog upon their opponent.

This formidable foe is an ideal choice, for not only is a weighty object, it also delivers mass puncturement via it's quills. Imagine how much money them terrorists could save on nails, if they could just tease a hedgeryhog into a ball and fire it via mortar cannon!

Now, there will always be those who say it is cruel to toss hedgehogs about - but this is their true environ.

For those familiar with the works of Hugo Rune, you will know that that these dwellers of the aquasphere normally live high up in the clouds, where they are naturally bouyed upon wind currents and suchlike, but when they've plummeted to Earth, they are too heavy to get enough thrust to get back into their natural orbit.

So, by lobbing them at each other, the Kiwis are helping them relive a few moments of soaring through the atmos, before braining a dullard upon the bonce.

"Raise your hands and step away from the hedgehog" quoth the papers...

Still, makes a change from "Raise your trousers and step away from the sheep"..
