I had my camera on my shoulder, turned around as my girlfriend's mum was bending down to get something on the floor. SMACK, 70-200mm F4 L USM against her head. It hurt her and my lens is fine.

With the tripod mount on you could wreck havoc. forget a tripod, a nice monopod is the greatest of weapons... i've used my tripod with just one leg down as a sword before, imagine what a nice carbon fiber monopod will do? I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.
