@ Fontaine fountain : It projects lights with LEDs under the crystal ball in the center while the water flowing underneath the statuette goes in through underneath the crystal ball and rotates it slowly and goes back underneath the statuette. It's pretty cool. Makes my room light up at night.

Here's a picture of it at night: HERE

Protip: Buy yourself a gift, wrap it and then open it and act all surprised even though you bought it yourself.

That won't work. It's tempered glass so it won't break unless you hit the edge of it (which you can't do if the window is closed). I work at a glass company and have tried it before :p

Also, I got some new tires for my mountain bike and a new drill. And lots of candy :p

I got

The arc mouse
1TB external Harddrive
pocketknife
cloths
coffee maker

i DIDNT get:

the one thing i truely wanted and would have given all my presents up for

HD PVR :'(

PVR = Personal Video Recorder? Why do you want one so badly?

works very well since it's tempered glass….you're thinking about the laminate glass on the windshield. This is for the safety glass on the sides and rear. Ever see a broken car window? you just have to break the surface tension at one point and whole thing shatters, I'm sure there are vids on the internet of it.

I'm away from my family with my gf's dad, step mom and little sisters (7 and 9) in florida. My best gift was that her dad paid for us to fly down here :) and some little things, like a zappy laser gun keychain. (like fifty cents, but it's cool).

I got:

-Galaxy Tab (the Android iPad)
-1TB External HDD
-New watch
-Halo: Reach
-New shoes & a couple of shirts
-$200 from one set of grandparents, $100 from the other

A great haul if you ask me. I never ask for any gifts (never really feel like I need anything), but it's always great seeing what people come up with for gift ideas. Now I have to figure out what to spend the cash on…

Dude, the cash you got is worth more than everything I got. "great haul" = understatement >_>

I guess it's possible if you know what your doing but it would be even harder from inside the car with limited space.

Its supposed to work well under water. It comes to a point, unlike the hammer. This focuses all of the energy on a single point, and the glass will shatter (as Brain stated)

This looks kinda like the one I saw on mythbusters when they did it actually underwater, iirc. It just shatters the shit outta the window = safe :)

hammer isn't ideal since it has the large impact surface area.
