Today, I was watching television in english of course. Personally, I do not watch TV in order to spend time but to learn English. Well, the simple fact of the matter is this...
I was watching a program about materials and tools of war. They were talking about an especial bullet proof glass cube. This is often used to build especial cars for presidents or VIP people, like the current Pope. But also It is used on big football stadiums, like the Barcelona Stadium. There, they have a bullet proof glass for important people too, so they can enjoy the match inside. From high up in the stands they can watch everything safely.
Also in that video, I could learn the phrase: "But all their bullets ricochet". This is a very interesting sentence because, I did not know the word RICOCHET.
There, they also proved TITANIUM but is a heavy and expensive material. The titanium was fired away with a powerful war rifle and endured the bullets. They tested the TI with a Machine Gun and even so, all the bullets were halted. It is a good material and with it they have nothing to lose, except for money.
Of course, Kevlar was mentioned several times, but that is a topic for another entry, he!.

Interesting topic, Juampy. Obviously we stole "ricochet" from French. It's good that you heard it first so that you know how to pronounce it.
