    Never say anything is "unbreakable".

    Reminiscent of the episode of Tomorrow's World where they demonstrated the new tough unbreakable safety glass for windscreens.

    They showed how you could hit it with a sledge hammer and ...SMASH! ... turn it into thousands of tiny bits of glass.

    Live TV was better.
    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

      I stopped believing that type of thing after the Pyrex incident...

      So guys, the advert showing a block of ice on 1 side of the bowl and a blow torch on the other was a lie...

          Ah Pyrex. Don't take it out of a hot oven and put in on a cold wet surface.

            They shouldn't have left any hard spikes or corners nearby. It could probably stand up to any scenario apart from having the screen bashed against a spike.
