Can you believe?
>>Pigs fly?
Parts of them do, anyway. A German driver was a little shaken up recently when a frozen pig's knuckle collided with his car in the Ruhr region of western Germany. The piece of pork flew from a truck and penetrated the bumper of the car. There were no injuries, and police later joked that at least the driver had caught some lunch.

And while the use of high-strength steel (HSS) makes the vehicles lighter and stronger, it can also make repairing them more complex. |
