Lily was travelling to Tel Aviv. For some reason, the Israeli security officers thought she was suspicious. So they put three bullets through her MacBook.

Yours had screwed up somehow. Most couldn't see it and it was reporting errors on the board. The file was removed and a temporary avatar from the Board's avatar gallery (there's over 100 avatars there for people to choose from if they are so inclined) was chosen at random for you.

But never let the facts get in the way of a good story. I'm surprised you don't work for Disney :)

yes. also note that at least two of the rounds didn't penetrate, which makes a MacBook a good inpromptu bullet deflector...

Did those two not penetrate or did they just shed their copper jackets? I would be surprised if at least the lead cores didn't go clean through.

can't really tell given the angle, but the bottom left impact damage seems to not go much deeper than what's shown. could be something for Mythbusters to try out. :mrgreen:
