No. We have already passed the point on the strength axis at which the car survives but the occupants die of internal injuries. For cars, what you need is energy absorption to decelerate the car's contents gradually. That means a body that will crumple.
Body armor, perhaps. Here, the total energy of a typical round is not lethal if it can be spread over a large area of the body. This can be facilitated by stiff materials backed by some padding.
Seems like 'stiff materials backed by some padding' might describe the optimal car design also: an impact-absorbing outer layer (crumple zone), inside of which is an extremely hard shell to prevent debris penetrating and crushing the passenger. On impact, the passenger strapped within the inner shell decelerates by crumpling the outer layer, without the inner layer's being breached by debris, or the passenger's needing to decelerate within the context of the inner layer. In such a model, you would want to make the inner shell as hard as possible. You might even be able to make an even flimsier outer layer if you could make the inner layer harder, resulting in less abrupt deceleration when using harder material.
I'm pretty sure runners live a lot longer than non-runners
Studies suggest that you need to take into account what they're running from. For example, people running from lions have a much lower life expectancy than sedentary individuals.
actually drug companies have been using the equivalent of booth babes for a long time. they're sales reps, they go to doctors offices and chat the doctors up about new drugs. quite often they're former college cheerleaders in their early 20s.
furthermore, you are assuming that women are underrepresented in a given field primarily because of sexism in the workplace, when other factors might be far more relevant, such as their being dissuaded from pursuing science/math in school. also, why is a woman making money off her sexuality necessarily a bad thing? who are you to tell a woman that her job is a form of 'cancer'?
You can drop a mouse down a thousand-yard mine shaft; and, on arriving at the bottom, it gets a slight shock and walks away, provided that the ground is fairly soft. A rat is killed, a man is broken, a horse splashes

Yep, it would put cartels and the mafia out of business overnight, leading to less crime and a marked improvement in living conditions and health for everyone, which is why its unlikely to ever happen. Politicians know its good to have a boogeyman in your back pocket to scare the electorate, like wartime presidents never losing office. Law enforcement knows their budgets would be slashed without much crime, and the increasingly paramilitary tactics they are adopting would become unneccessary. In short, those in power would lose control.
well what we could do is legalize drugs, but then illegalize something else, so that the cartels still have a business. For example, what if we made truck nuts illegal? We could have truck nuts being peddled on street corners, colombian truck-nut smugglers smuggling truck nuts from illegal jungle truck-nut laboratories, and truck-nut kingpins bribing truck-nut police to take out rival truck-nut gangs. To get around the problem of people wanting to put truck nuts on their trucks (capital offense), you could have brown bag laws, where the cops couldn't pull you over unless they could actually see the truck nuts.

I'd have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, blowing things up is generally to be frowned upon. On the other, the fact that these groups could come together to behind a common cause would serve a both an inspiration and a reason to hope for the future of humanity.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn if these people firmly believe life on earth is less than 10.000 years old, or they are just saying that because they heard it in bible class. The fact is these morons vote, and they are ruining things for the rest of us.
if life began less than 10.000 years ago (and frankly I'm skeptical of such a precise estimate), how are they even old enough to vote?
Presumably he supports a governmental role in preventing efforts by corporations to disrupt the market (via monopolies, price fixing, dumping, collusion, insider trading etc.), whilst also doubting the value of high-minded attempts to tinker with the social order. I imagine there are many self-described libertarians who would would agree that, for example, Rajat Gupta's alleged wrongdoings are an appropriate area for government action.
I agree that the texter is not responsible for the accident, but the initial ruling:'the slap on the wrist' that the textee got, well, IMHO, $775.00 USD is way too small compensation for two innocent victims, both of which had to undergo leg amputations as a result of textee's 'distracted driving'.
wow, that's brutal. he won't be able to afford an iPhone 4S without signing up for a new contract.
Is the 90% accurate, faster, and far cheaper than current tests maybe because it's just a strip of paper that will always give a "You do not have pancreatic cancer" result?
I can do better than that. A strip of paper that says "you have pancreatic cancer," stuffed into fortune cookie laced with U-235.
How does being fat, weak, wrinkly, and near-sighted aid in information transfer? Insofar as it doesn't, it appears he really means that man's longevity, even taking into account such problems, provides a benefit to the species. This has nothing to do with the problems of aging, which if anything, inhibit information transfer. You can't teach something you can't remember.

Indeed, I should think the number of people killed by lions whilst remaining seated is slim to none.

The same is true for the medical profession.

Union membership correlates with better test results. Correlation does not mean causation, but still.

It's a smart move actually. If you marry someone you started dating before they knew you had money, you know they like you and not just your wallet.
that's a huge red flag for me. if a chick liked me before she knew I had money, she's got serious mental problems
