It has been proven that no firearm can penetrate 14 inches of water, not even the magnum .50 cal sniper rifle with steel-jacketed bullets, so this means that if you want to be safe from any bullet just stay under 14 inches of water in a river or lake. picked by maxriter 4 months ago 8 comments edit related share entertainment |

Martin Mustapha found a dead fly in a water dispenser bottle in 2001 and brought a $300,000 suit against the suppliers.

Scientists have long marveled over counter-intuitive properties that set water apart from other solids and liquids commonly found in nature. That is why Pablo Debenedetti and collaborators were surprised to find a highly simplified model molecule that behaves in much the same way as water, a discovery that upends long-held beliefs about what makes water so special. picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago 0 comments edit related share science |

DARPA is very interested. picked by Fanatic 2 years ago 2 comments edit related share technology |
