    the man wasn't thinking- it probably froze when he pointed the gun at it.

    Bravissimo!  He put into action what many of us have felt, at one time or another...

        Agreed.  It's rather like when you can tell a person has spelled a word like it sounds, except they don't pronounce it properly, so they don't spell it properly.  It's a soapbox I try to avoid, but I'm really surprised at the misuse between "of" and "have" when coupled with "could".

          Nah, a bullet is a few cents worth of material, a computer is several hundred dollars worth of material. Doesn't compute value wise.

          However, a human body's composition is worth less than a dollar, so a magazine worth of bullets into a person does equate to a proper value for the bullets.  ;D

          Strictly speaking the human Male is approx 60% water which equates to about 41.911935kg per say someone like me 11stone. Which means I have about 41-42 litres of water in me depending on how water rich my blood is at the time.
          Like to see you buy that much water for less than a dollar.

          Plus my internal organs are worth a lot on the illegal market, my kidneys are a couple of hundred each and don't get me started on the Liver.
          The cost of giving my body over as a donor to somone after I'm dead is priceless.

                and of course, that's only if it happens at work. If your wife had any part of it I doubt they'd be particularly eager to reimburse you.

                This is one reason not to keep vicegrips lying around. If she, for example, has a pair of vicegrips in her nightstand, you can guess she's planning something sinister.
