Factoid of the Day 8-24-08
From mythbusters, the TV show:An electromagnet hidden in a wristwatch can deflect bullets.BUSTEDJamie built an electromagnet that could fit inside a wristwatch and mounted it near a target. Next they fired bullets at the target, making sure that the bullets passed close by the electromagnet. However, the wristwatch-sized electromagnet was not powerful enough to change the bullet¡¯s trajectory. The Mythbuster then upgraded to a larger and more powerful electromagnet, but it still couldn¡¯t deflect the bullet.

Now I feel as though the DD is too flashy so I was thinking about trading for a two tone Daytona of a BLNR. What do you guys think is best for long term: value, desirability and so on. Thanks
