Pulling on oars

Not that I'm advocating unsportsmanlike behavior, but I thought Nielsen-Kellerman's ad in "Rowing News" was pretty amusing. The Boothwyn-based firm makes a Blue Ocean megaphone especially for rowing coaches and says that it's not only "extremely loud and clear" but also floats and "bounces without breaking -- withstands coach rage."
I checked out NK's website (nkhome.com) and found they also make some very cool specialized electronic pocket wind and weather meters for all kinds of outdoors enthusiasts: athletes, pilots, farmers, shooters and hunters, skiers, firefighters, coaches -- even concrete workers, home inspectors and race-car drivers who need precise information about humidity.
