    Won't buy one of these until they can survive the Paperboy 80mph toss of doom into the storm door.

    For nearly 500 bucks it should have built in airbags

    @Hello Mister Walrus:

    To do list:


    1. Ask "Hello Mister Walrus" - "When did you get the gold star?"



    2. Congratulate him.

    3. (When doing step 1 and 2 make sure to add something relevant to the post)

    4. Start a conversation with him that "unwittingly" leads to him divulging his home address.

    5. Buy a pair of binoculars (look into the cost of buying night vision goggles.)

    6. (If unsuccessful with step 4 go back to "JerseyCam" [www.cash4bowlingballs.com]) (GitEmSteveDave)

    OR

    In addition use the money that would have been used to buy binoculars to invest in some English writing lessons (Where are the commas!?)

    7. Realize that you live in Scotland and as such it would be impractical to stalk "Hello Mister Walrus"

    8. Find a fellow Gizmodo Scotsman and repeat from step 4 onwards.

    9. Get annoyed when you fail to receive any replies.

    @Scotland: Thank you for the support! (But sorry for violating number 9 in your list).


    @Professional_Iceberg_Hunter: You have a problem with crapping while standing up? Fisticuffs for honor!

    @Hello Mister Walrus: OHHHHHHH how wrong you are! Trust me, if I could find someone who didn't mind the cams, I'd make her an honest woman.


    @Scotland: @d★nger the pirate: The three kitties move a lot, so you can usually find them at least one on something. And yes, I make my bed, but the cats mess it up.

    Try dropping Matt's SLR on it from 30", or just stick it in his pack next to his SLR for a few days.


    Let me know what that test shows.

    @JellyBeats: Yeah, I noticed that to. That's the strongest point so of course they're going to use that. Try dropping it randomly on some concrete and it probably won't fare so well.

    @turwaith: It maybe the strongest point, but it's also the area where it absorbs all the force when impacting, whereupon it transfer all the energy into the unit unevenly.
