    Old geezer saved by his Razr.

    Some old guy took a .45 slug in the chest while cutting his grass and his Motorola Razr stopped the bullet.

    Cell phone stops bullet, saves St. Tammany man's life on Yahoo! Video

    The cell phone wasn't even particularly damaged, and the bullet was in one piece.

    This wasn't stopping a bullet coming from a gun with discharge velocity, this was stopping a "falling bullet" that was at probably just over terminal velocity from wind resistance.

    A bullet shot directly from a .45 caliber gun would completely fucking decimate that cell phone.

    It's still a crazy cool story though.

    I have a Razr and it has never once saved my life. I'm so dissatisfied with its performance in this regard. :\

    Is no one surprised that an "old geezer" owns and even knows how to OPERATE a cell?

    I have to agree, my Razr has only caused me grief. Screen going white and having to pay $80 for a refurbished one. -.-

    So he can call himself to find the phone if he misplaces it obviously.


    @Kiro: I think you'll find most old people have just enough grasp of modern technology to use it, but not understand it.

    Case in point: 80 year old man who can find a Poker Site, download the software, install it, open a Real Money account, play, but can't seem to understand what you mean when you mention a "Start Button".

    That was a fun call.

    I wouldn't do that if I were you; you'll have to face the Fury of the Storm

    Well, had he been carrying a Jitterbug, he'd have been safe from any sort of projectile shot at him...
