Actually knew about both beforehand -- from a little source called "World War II Magazine". I remember telling my dad about it, and he thought I was making things up. I was glad to see the episode coming on all this time later and "made" him watch it so he knew I wasn't nuts.
Was actually looking for the exact issue just now when your post popped -- can't find it. I was going to scan the picture of the guy holding the bat that they used in the program, since that was the only picture in the article (as far as I can recall). Then I remembered I can't attach anything to the BBs anyway, so really no point . . .
BTW, I think Modern Marvels took all of their "secret weapons" right out of WWII Magazine to be honest. All were covered in it at one point or other.
Besides, saw no reason to source it since obviously everyone here saw it too.
And anyway, Debonair brought it up, so why rag on me?
