Nope. I’m from California, doncha know. Never been farther north than Washington D.C.

BTW…in the comics, Aquaman lost his hand by having it _eaten off by pirhana_, didn’t he?

I mean, if he’s still vulnerable to little pieces of sharp calcium, I’d think that 85 grains of jacketed lead traveling at 1500 fps. would still be capable of doing some damage.

That’s crap. The bad guys always know exactly who Bond is, and they always end up sending their most beautiful female agent to kill him, and she sleeps with him instead (ref: _Dr. No_, _You Only Live Twice_, _A View to a Kill_, and arguably just about every movie in the series).

Then Bond would quickly assemble a team of female superheroes to help him.

No problem.
