I didn't read the article, but...
...whatever caused the humans to disappear, wouldn't affect animals too?

Actually their experiment is not very valid, and I consider it quite a waste of time for them.
Of course, for rifle bullets, feet and feet of fat would be necessary. However, for small arms (pistols and revolvers), the experiment is invalid, because:
- most pistol bullets aren't as heavy as the ball bearing they used. Ball bearings are usually made of steel. Bullets are lead, antimony and, sometimes copper. A steel ball bearing of the same size of a bullet is usually heavier than the bullet.
- The 9mm Luger is a fast cartridge, but doesn't come close to 500 m/s (usually, 350 m/s for a 124 gr bullet)
- Most people are shot by small arms, not rifles, so, an appropriate experiment would be to use a common gun, like a 9mm or even a .38 Spl, which I know for fact than can be stopped by fat. Even a heavy leather jacket will slow a .38 Spl down enough to lower its damage to a minimum.
- A hollow point bullet, which expands on hitting soft targets, will deaccelerate considerably when traveling through the medium.
- Even when a bullet can be stopped by fat, what is most damaging is not the perfuration made, it's also the effect of the thermostatic shock that damages internal organs.
- AFAIK, only muzzle loading guns use round (as in "round ball") bullets, but then, their speed is very limited, they are made of lead, and their surface is not near as finished as a ball bearing.

Kevin and Adam are absolutely correct.
there is a missing "kilo" in the conversion of the units:
1 Megaflop = 1,000 kiloflops = 1,000,000 flops
kilo means "times 1 thousand"
Mega means "times 1 million"

BTW, Durex, here in Brazil, is the generical name for transparent, narrow scotch tape (which is TM by 3M).

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
This game is extemely addictive, extremely fun, and extremely counter-productive. Unless you have (lots of) time to spare or simply hate your boss, do not play this game!
Last week, when I read about it a Neatorama, I spent one full working day playing this. I gotta agree that once you get the grip of it, it's not that hard to reach level 50... now, level 100 is a whole different story!

Somehow I can see Homer Simpson driving that car!!!!
Creative! OTOH, I wonder what kinda geek the car owner must have been in order to do that. Choose one below:
( ) enginner
( ) mathematician
( ) engineer
( ) physicist
( ) engineer
( ) computer scientist
I really liked that!!!! Creative, subtle, and smart!
