The WoW one is such bullshit.
Paedo's!!After blacking out in a swimming pool, a 10-year-old Welsh girl was rescued by lifeguards who saw the potentially fatal events unfolding on a set of underwater cameras that link to a computer system. 10 seconds later, the girl was rescued.
i think someone wants us to buy some more ipods
Most of that is BS. Myth Busters has already tried using an iPod to stop a bullet. Didn't even come close.

The story about that guy in Iraq is bollocks. It was his body armour, that stopped the bullet from piercing his body armour. Not the iPod.
Yes, it is rather silly.ghettoperson wrote:

As to the iPod/Bullet stories: Yes, when shot at reasonable ranges, it's completely unreasonable for a device like that to stop a bullet. But, under extraordinary circumstances (extremely long range, ricochet, glance) the bullet can finally come to rest due to the phone/iPod.
Regardless, the iPod one is BS because you can see the hole. It goes right through it.
They're all kinda BS tbh
Mildly entertaining though, good for a 30 sec read.

It says that it slowed the bullet down enough for it to be stopped by his body armour - not that the iPod stopped the bullet. They acknowledge that it goes through the iPod.Defiance wrote:

I think the true story is more along the lines of "The bullet went through the Ipod before being stopped by the body armour".Bertster7 wrote:

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
