    I gotta get me one of those... I wonder if K-Mart has any left over from Halloween?

    Anyone have a spare $43 million on their debit card I can use?

    It might stop bullets but it's definitely going to sting a wee bit if you wear it for body armor.

    Though, it's early days, yet. If they can get to the point where the material's properties become well understood and it's then determined it's cost-effective and simple to combine with other materials (say, kevlar/spectra weaves) to complement its properties, then they might well be on to something. Imagine if the resulting materials can be made thin, light, high-performance and low-cost enough to matter.

    Bullet-resistant barriers, wrappings for satellites and vehicles, home exterior materials for withstanding extreme weather (tornadoes, hurricanes), vehicle "skins," mundane stuff like work gloves/shoes/jackets. Time will tell.

    Is this the stuff they make Bibles out of, the ones that always stop a bullet in the movies?

    There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.

    Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.

    And my thoughts bend the bullet's path away from me.
