This.........won't last long.
It's very vague and leaves little room for discussion.

But, whatever. My point of interest: If windows were made of a thick gel-like substance with a thin outer layer of plastic, wouldn't they stop bullets better?

but on a purely practical level wouldn't that just really not be produceable

It would be produce-able but way more expensive

lol but who'd pay the extra money as a pre-caution against having their windows shot out?

Presidents and gangsters?

Rich people?

fair enough but why don't they do it already if it really is that much more effective?

Has anyone ever thought of making windows like that before?

 

[blobin]

also most of the US's history is quite clearly bullshit...

history's written by the victor, in this case it isn't, it's just written to place America upon a pedestal, such as their revolution in reaction to the introduction of a new tax, and the reduction in eligible voters after the war

Probably, but you'd have trouble seeing through them.

I find the ways that barnacles have sex interesting. Look it up. Not that I'm...aroused in any way, it's just awesome.

I'm not too keen on typing Barnacle Sex into google for everyone to see, maybe you can give us a brief

Basically, their penises are 8 times the length of their body, and they (blindly) flail their monsters all over the colony, until they find some barnacle bitches and penetrate.

Fonney.

That...is...awesome. I wonder what the persons face discovering this was like?

Lol I can only imagine, anyways, I edited my previous answer to show the article where I found this. There's video of a dolphin pushing a ball along with its erection, in case that wins you over.

Also the base of the window would eventually get thicker than the top. In fact, really old windows had this problem, cuz glass is just really really viscous, and not solid.

Glass is a liquid.
Every windows up until XP was DOS based and therefore a GUI for DOS and not an OS.
Humans are just animals, have an unsustainable population and aren't that important, deal with it.

There have yet to be any GOOD games or films based on Lovecraft's work.
Wales is not a country, it's a principality and therefore part of England.
LLamas are awesome!

Problem with that is that gels tend to have odd effects on light. And then you've got the way light behaves when travelling through layers of different materials... Even if it was more effective, it'd be tricky making them properly transparent - you get to the point where you may as well replace the window with actual bulletproof armour and adding a lightbulb. Also, simpler types of layered thermoplastics give a bullet-resistant effect, without such problems of light distortion - it's what they actually mean when they talk about "bulletproof glass".

Glass is a liquid.

It's actually an amorphous solid. The only way you could think of it as a liquid is if you assumed there are only three states of matter.

There have yet to be any GOOD games or films based on Lovecraft's work.

The existence of Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is sufficient evidence to the contrary.

100% of people with dreadlocks die, and that's a fact

I like this post for one reason. Its plain silly.

Hm, interesting fact... I posses some phsycic abilities (not fully developed yet before anyone starts trying to get me to do stuff for them) but they are also limited to distance, surroundings and time.

I really enjoy pus - and skewering anything with pus inside.

That's interesting.

Amazing, no?

Since this thread has ended badly, a useless fact about things ending badly. The most common cause of death among Roman emperors was "killed by his own guards".

Cracked did an article about animals that can do crazy things with their genitals.. They mentioned barnacles..

I'll never look at the side of a ship the same way again..

Also, this just in: This thread was dead before it was born.

We pay professional athletes hundreds of millions of dollars each to throw a ball around, contributing nothin to soceity other than two hours of entertainment on a weekend. Teachers, on the other hand, make very little. They are the people who matter most in this country. They are the role models as well as the educators. A child gains nothing when they look up to a professional athlete - they just idolize someone who later turns out to be an adulterous, dog-fighting 'roid abuser. Teachers, on the other hand, give children the skills and knowledge they must have to excel in the real world. They sacrifice their time and money to give these kids a life.

And who do we pay? Who do we prioritize in the public eye? The useless bad role-models.

What does that say about us?
