Breast implants: The new Kevlar?

Is it just me, or is everyone talking about this?

Breast implant saves woman's life
Shrapnel that struck an Israeli woman in the chest during a Hizbollah rocket attack was stopped inches from her heart by her breast implant, hospital officials said.

Photo: Since 1992, most breast implants used in the U.S. have been filled with saline instead of silicone. But what is their stopping power?

Ok, it really is time for the world to sit down together and come up with ONE single spelling for the word "Hezbollah". Please?

G,

Google likes "Hezbollah". But transcriptions from the Arabic are all over the place.

Guess after the implant use you have to replace it huh? Wonder if she will go in the Bobbits foot step and break in the porn industry.I know it was rude but funny though.

Dang near chipped a tooth on those suckers.

If she stopped shrapnel, Dog the Bounty hunter's wife, Beth, could stop a cannon ball. OMG, now more women will be getting them for protection. Can a woman in law enforcement take them off her taxes now as a job related expense?

Sugar creek, mo sucks! Anyway, I'm glad she lived to tell about it. I would also like to give her a breast exam. Kevlar boobies sound great to me.

And some people are against woman in the military, sounds like a safe idea to me.

First of all, in regards to the spelling, since most of the Hezbollim are illiterates, not even they can come up with a consistent spelling.

Second, even though Websters lists Hizballah and Hezbollah, who really cares - they're just terrorists. Nobody gives a rats rump how they spell it.

Lastly, in regards to the implants, how come someone in the media hasn't blamed Bush yet?

[KAB]

Hmmm, closest thing to "safe sex" I have heard of yet...

Citizen, Lighten up. Find alittle humor where you can. The woman lived thanks to her breast implants. Seems like money well spent to me. I would think about it, but I really don't wish to start tipping over at this late date.

When you have to protect thee, arm yourself with double D's!!!!!
