Bulletproof discs
Here’s another idea for all those obsolete HD-DVD discs that might otherwise be headed to make roads in China: bulletproof vests!
A man in the US was saved from a bullet in the stomach by a DVD in his pocket.
McRoy didn’t realise his DVD had taken a hit until he put his hand in
his jacket pocket and "pulled out a handful of shattered plastic" and a
fragment of the bullet.
That was an old school DVD, but I’m sure HD-DVDs would work just as well. A scale mail hauberk of HD-DVDs would make an excellent budget bulletproof vest.
On the other hand, if you actually want to watch what’s on the discs, you might find this guide to converting HD-DVDs to Blu-Ray useful.
