the story below it is pretty good, too:
- News of the Weird reported in 1993 that a nude dancer in Tampa had been spared a more serious injury (according to a police officer) when a gunshot to her chest was deflected by her breast implant. In August 2006, an Agence France-Presse report from a hospital in Nahariya, Israel, credited a young woman's silicone breast implant for saving her from a more serious injury from shrapnel from a Hezbollah rocket during the recent war.
