Dwarf mongooses (mongeese?) are trained to sniff out explosives in Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, making disposal of the island’s countless landmines far less dangerous. Lightweight and intelligent, they don’t set off the bombs, and can yell “get me the hell out of here!” when strapped to the robots that drag them through dangerous, landmine-infested locales.

mongeese?

I believe that the correct pluralization is “polygoose”.

Pouched Rats can do it too.

Mongii!
Instead of using innocent mongeese, could the organic element not be shareholders of land mine manufacturing companies?
I must say Takuan that your idea has merit.
Can we not include the purchases of the land mines?
but think of the mess afterwards :\
there’s some great pictures and video of landmine sniffing rats in action on http://www.herorat.org
