What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

[Rev. Rye]

In 2005, the security film, Scotchshield placed a glass box filled with $3 million in cash at a bus stop in Vancouver, Canada, and issued a simple challenge: break the glass and keep the money.



People of all ages and backgrounds attempted to shatter the seemingly indestructible glass. From punches and kicks to using tools and even a sledgehammer, but no one managed to break it.

Did a little additional research on that particular stunt. It only lasted for a single day, not because the glass broke, but because they determined that the metal surrounding it was losing its structural integrity from all the banging. Yes, the glass was more resilient than the metal. 

More disappointing, however, is that only about $500 of that $3 million was real.
