Is it titanium or some sort of metal? Because as many of you know, some guy got shot at in Brazil and his MBP saved his life by stopping the bullet.
 
i wish they came with magnesium alloy cases and frames...
 
Wow, it works as a bulletproof vest?

Do you have the link to the story, i'm looking for a good read :D
 
the original pics were deleted but other flickr users have posted pics like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rustybrick/403684539/

theres really no story except it's from Brazil, this guy got mugged at shot at. amazingly, it's still working.

theres also an ipod story as stated before. that flickr page is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tiki/445618364/in/pool-appleusers/

i am sure that the story with the MBP was that a friend of the owner accidentally shot it with an airgun..
 
The MBP is probably shot with a small calibre round. Considering that a M16 round can make a rather significant dent at the back of a 1" thick steel plate, I really find it hard to believe it won't rip a MBP into 1/2.
