Yesterday the British government revealed to the world a shatterproof pint glass. No it’s not made of plastic; if I’m drinking beer out of plastic, it had better be because I’m playing beer pong.

This might strike you as not all that newsworthy, but in England, where it’s becoming a lot more common for people to smash glasses and use them as weapons, it’s practically health care reform.

I have never had the pleasure of taking in a fight where “glassing” occurred. Have you?
