    Bulletproof googles

    http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123012131

    Oh and scratchproof too...

    "ALONtm is virtually scratch resistant, offers substantial impact resistance, and provides better durability and protection against armor piercing threats, at roughly half the weight and half the thickness of traditional glass transparent armor, said the lieutenant."

    While scratch resistance is nice, I'm really digging the bulletproof aspect.

    Many of my friends work here: www.essgoggles.com in town. Pretty cool stuff if you think you might take that rogue bullet to the grille while ripping the hill.

    I don't know, but after reading this I fired up Google and shot my monitor to test it...that shit isn't bulletproof at all.

    Yeah... um, I'm not so worried about bullets flying around while skiing... more worried about fog. If they made a totally fog-resistant pair of goggles, I'd be sold. I'd only be worried about the bullets while skiing with T.Hall - them gangsta types are always targets for drive-bys and (ski-bys).

    My buddy just got back from Africa and told me about the bulletproof medicine they have there. The witchdoctor whips up this gue that is supposed to make you bulletproof if you drink it.

    Maybe someone here could use it?
