You can't un-destroy things

Now and then, I'll turn to the folks at WillitBlend.com for a good video when I'm in a pinch.  It's the site of a blender company that likes to demonstrate the awe-inspiring power of its blenders to destroy almost anything -- from glowsticks to iPods to cans of pork-and-beans.

They have nothing on SSI -- a company that likes to tout the power of its big industrial shredders.  They have a fine site that boasts a big collection of destruction videos.  You can see them shred all kinds of things, from a washing machine to an old VW Beetle.
