Interesting body armor idea!

There's constant research into improving body armor and this is certainly an interesting idea to improve it. http://www.nbcnews.com/science/scien...lefield-n68136

Italy has Armadillos?

(mammifero edentato notturno il cui corpo e testa sono protetti da un'armatura di piccole piastrine ossee) And as architecture in some other parts of the world...the Armadillo in Glasgow (I'm a proud Weegian)

but in America

the only way to go!

AS a public service to our 98,000

members howerver, a word of caution: Using genetic sequencing machines, researchers were able to confirm that about a third of the leprosy cases that arise each year in the United States almost certainly result from contact with infected armadillos. The cases are concentrated in Louisiana and Texas, where some people hunt, skin and eat armadillos. No petting of wild armadillos is advised!

I think most guys still prefer Disney's take on this

^ Forget Disney! Obviously: Venus (Aphrodite to the hard-core) 'born of the sea'- arguably an ultimate mermaid, holding her scallop shell very defensively...Shell protection as of 100BC? Nothing really new here.
