      Wow, that means you could actually *attack* someone's beaches by implanting tetrapods.

      hadn't heard of them - thanks for starting off a little online lesson re: tetrapods.
      re: implanting tetrapods to attack - could there be more elegant ways of achieving the same results these days?
