A GENUINE DAVID AND GOLIATH TALE:
The sailor's hosepipe that sent these pirates packing (COLIN FERNANDEZ, 16th May 2007, Daily Mail)
It sounds like a scene from a swashbuckling Hollywood film - brave sailor fights off marauding band of pirates armed to the teeth.Posted by Orrin Judd at May 16, 2007 5:34 PMBut for Michael Groves, it was terrifying reality.
He was the security officer on a cruise ship when a dozen Somalis in two boats opened fire with rocket launchers and machine guns.
The 41-year-old ex-policeman repelled the raiders with a highpressure hose and a hi-tech sonic cannon.
OJ,
I was listening to a sermom on David & Goliath and my favorite part was David asking "who is this uncircumcised Philistine who mocks the Living God."
David didn't win because of the technology as much as he invoked divine assistance every step of the way. (at least that was the pastor's point)
Regardless, you original point stands. "Goliath never stood a chance." That is why I will eventually triumph over our awful Public Education system.
