 Air Force Academy Cadet's Gravy-Like Goo Is a Bullet-Stopping Marvel

 8 May 2017 | by TOM ROEDER

There are a lot of ways to stop a bullet. Feet of concrete work. A few dozen pounds of steel work, too. Modern fibers like Kevlar work, if you have enough.

But a senior cadet at the Air Force Academy may have come up with something better: A thin coating of gravy.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
