Yet another example of science catching up with fantasy, the company Nihon Uni has created a shirt that will protect against stab wounds.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.slashgear.com/nihon-uni-releases-a-stab-proof-t-shirt-2510879.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.slashgear.com/img/2F43D7DA-2710-4301-878D-32964CE76603" alt="stab-proof t-shirt" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.slashgear.com/nihon-uni-releases-a-stab-proof-t-shirt-2510879.php"><P>Due to an uprise in stabbings of late night store clerks and even children, they needed a lightweight way to offer a bit more <A class="iAs" classname="iAs" href="#" target="_blank" itxtdid="5327492">security</A> in your day to day routine.
