This is very funny and stereotypically appropriate:

Irish Fishermen Make Strange Catch

And a documentary on Project X-Ray, a strategy devised by the US military in World War II to fit bats with incendiary devices and use them to burn down Japanese cities – the inspiration for Sunwing.

Kind of like the dogs the Soviets fitted with bombs and trained to run under enemy tanks (WW2, must have been). Only the dogs had been trained with native tanks, so, of course, completely ignored the enemy tanks and ran under the Soviet ones.

Ah, the whimsy of BBC reporting. I wonder if the grateful liqueur company donated any of the haul to the fishermen :)
