    Do you think I give a shit about anything that does not have pictures? Why do people think its perfectly ok to post stories that are useless without pics, without pics!? And no, I'm not going to go through the comments looking for a link, why should I? it should damn well be updated in the story at the top of the page.

    I don't think they want this in civilian hands any any large quantity.

    Imagine a house protected with this stuff and a SWAT team trying to save a child from being killed by his mentally-disturbed dad.

    I know, "protect the children", but anything that can stop multiple rounds of .50 cal defeats police snipers.

    Does it hurt bending so far over backwards to accomodate the desires of the entire world that you have to do stupid stuff like present alternative spellings of words like that? Or did you just do that to look smart?
