Random Stealth Irwin

For no reason at all, I've become a fan of the show Whale Wars...



And if you haven't seen the show, the premise is such: A group of dirty hippies in a dusty old boat, throw stink bombs and slippery paste at the the Japanese whaling fleet in an effort to save the Whales. Their methods are archaic and in large part ineffective although, the show is pretty entertaining because of the whole do-gooder, david vs goliath theory...

That is, before they hired Batman to design their ultra smooth, ultra stealth, anti-whaling badass mobile. WHAT?!



(from TIME)
Earthrace, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's new high-tech anti-whaling powerboat, rests in Auckland Harbor, New Zealand, ahead of its deployment for Perth, and then the Southern Ocean. The 80-foot trimaran features paint that deflects radar, allowing the vessel to approach whaling ships virtually unseen. Leaving Perth on December 7, Earthrace will join the Society's ship Steve Irwin on a three-month voyage protesting Japan's industrial whaling program. SEE MORE PICS
