A couple decades ago the employee at my local headshop raised the pipe I was looking at to shoulder level, and dropped it onto the wood floor. When it emerged entirely unscathed it felt like a magic trick and he said "it's pyrex" and ever since then I truly believe the material is magic. That pipe lasted 20+ years until I lost it, meanwhile I broke at least 10 pipes of thicker normal glass. I dropped it in the sink and on the floor countless numbers of times when I braced myself for the sad cleanup, but it always survived.
