Has anybody thought about inventing mirrored landmines? That would place a mighty big spanner in Zues' works I reckon. Always wondered why they didnt just chrome the space ships in Star Wars. Of course the film would have been more stupid.
And the best mine clearing tool has got to be a flock of heavy weighted chickens. Nah, swans - yeah swans. Get a whole gaggle of swans, angry little bastards they are - bite a fella for no good reason they will, and feed em up so their real heavy. The chase em with a stick. That'll clear the mines I'll wager. And afterwards you can have heaps and heaps of minced charred swan to feed the troops. Bit o charred swan probably make 'em fight like mentalists.
