Takes a lickin' ... At MacFixIt.com, Slave Labor Graphics' Dan Vado shares how one of the publisher's Macintosh computers survived a car crashing through the company's office:

"Last week, a drunk driver plowed through the front of our offices, destroying most of the equipment in our production department (we are a comic book publisher.)

"In one of the pictures you will see a G4 1.25 Ghz computer in the rubble. This machine had traveled at least 20 feet in the air, hit a wall and came down on a heap of rubble.

"After we cleaned up, I plugged the thing in just to see if it would boot up. Amazingly enough, the thing came on and has been running without trouble ever since."

(Here's a link to the photo mentioned.)
