Made it home yesterday and hauled suitcases through 6 inches of snow up since the sidewalk wasn't shoveled yet. All before 11am. Then proceeded to be completely out of it for the rest of the day.
Watched a fantastically bad post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie called The Last Sentinel, which taught us that any explosion can be escaped with nary a scratch, as long as you jump into at least 6 inches of water. It also contained Katee Sackhoff as the principle female lead, and got the credit "Girl". Yes, no actual name. (Was BSG on hiatus or something around 2006?)
It was hilariously bad. Not to mention the sniper scope had an AI that would not shut up. I mean, I should have known something about the, um, quality of what we were about to watch seeing as it came in a four-pack of sci-fi movies for $5 Yarmond picked up at Target. But we seriously weren't expecting Prince of Fallout: The Sands of LA. I WAS ALMOST EXPECTING HEADCRABS.

(you're my hero; though you're that already)
I think the Mythbusters tackled that (or at least with shotguns, not explosions), though I forget what the conclusions were.

(aw, thank you)
I wouldn't be surprised if Mythbusters did. Water really does slow down the velocity of a bullet dramatically. I had to do a fluid dynamics homework problem on it once: if 10 feet of water was enough to keep a .22 Civil War round from killing you. The answer was "yes, by a lot". I think 2ft can save you from .50 caliber rounds.
