So yet another really bad Steven Segal movie was on last night, Exit Wounds I think was the title. Got me thinking about something... so I did some digging around online for the answer.
I give you all: The Original Box O' Truth
http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot1.htm
"People often say, "I think...". "I suppose...", "I bet...", when discussing facts like penetration of ammunition. There is only one way to know how much a certain round penetrates. You must shoot it into a medium and see for a fact.
This is the Box."
Best part of the Box? They did lots of tests...
The Box O' Truth - Insulated Walls
http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot12.htm
"Since we started this project, many people have asked, "Why don't you fill the walls with insulation before you shoot them? Maybe it would make a difference."
Well, the standard answer is, "Interior walls, at least here in Texas, are not insulated. Only exterior walls are insulated."
But…..who knows? Maybe it would make a difference."
The Box O' Truth - I Hear You Knocking - Metal Doors
http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot17.htm
"I have had some folks ask about metal covered doors and how they would stand up to bullets.
So....to the range."
And back to the news:
U.S. Reclassifies Many Documents in Secret Review
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/21/politics/21reclassify.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
"In a seven-year-old secret program at the National Archives, intelligence agencies have been removing from public access thousands of historical documents that were available for years, including some already published by the State Department and others photocopied years ago by private historians."
So... we have this barn... and the door is open... and the animals are gone... and ... ummm... lets shut the door. Yeah.

"It’s a gathering of movie stills, from some of our all time favorites. They are all over the place – from comedies to serious drama, from the late 1970s to 2005, from American to Japanese, to Japanese remade American to French…"
Fair warning, at least one film in this batch goes by a name you know but might not think of as the title. Goodluck.
