A must-see for anyone with the foresight to keep tissues on the rear shelf of their car — in a crash, will that box be propelled forward with enough force to crush your skull? The MythBusters are on the case, with surprising results.

Here's something to make you weep — could that tissue box you stash in the rear window of your car crush your skull in the event of a crash?
