Bullets and cannon balls were not produced in shot towers. Those were made by pouring molten lead or iron into molds. The bigger the projectile, the bigger the mold.
Shot towers were used to create the little round pellets that fill shotgun shells.

OMG I can relate. There are certain dishes I am addicted to.
Indian Restaurants: Chicken Tikka Masala
Mexican Restaurants: Pollo en Mole
Chinese Restaurants: Moo Goo Gai Pan.
I can stare at a menu for ten minutes, examine every offering, and 99 times out of 100, I will order one of the above.

The real question is: after driving her around the bend with that riddle, how old will he be when he gets laid again?

Pretty good. However the battle with Buddy Rich was better.

This is only a SWAG (scientific-wild-ass-guess). It seems likely that the monument was written in Kanshi, a Japanese term for Chinese poetry, and Japanese poetry written in Chinese by Japanese poets. During the Edo period and the early Meiji period many bunjin or "men of letters" schooled in the philosophy of Neo-Confucianism composed kanshi.
This would be similar to the West's Neo-Classical fascination with Greece and Rome which led to Latin inscriptions being placed on 19th and 20th century buildings and monuments.
The link below mentions over 40 such inscriptions on the Princeton campus.

So, does Chipolte have a cup discussing food safety?
So far, they have shut 43 restaurants in Oregon and Washington following an outbreak of E.coli linked to at least 22 cases. That outbreak is Chipotle's third food safety incident this year.

Still less than 1% of their goal.

Meanwhile in Mordor . . . Orcs have raised £19GBP in 2 days to fund the destruction of Minas Tirith! So far, 0% funded of £1,000,000 GBP goal, however, with 59 days left, they might have a chance.

I worked in a bar when I was in college, and saw plenty of broken glassware.
Every bar and pub I know,hand-washes their mugs, pilsners and pints in a sink behind the bar.
Bar glassware takes a considerable beating even when the patrons are behaving.
On slow nights we’d make a few bucks on bar bets that we could drop a glass in the floor and catch it before it broke.
Those 9 oz water glasses with the wavy sides you see in diners and chain pancake houses will bounce on a hard floor if dropped correctly.
We’d drop one from about waist height on the tile floor, and it would bounce twice. If it hit the floor a third time it would shatter.
One customer explained how it worked. Apparently, the tempered glasses would absorb the energy of impacts. Eventually. the glass could take no more and even the slightest tap would cause it to shatter.
I’m not sure, but I suspect the same principle applies to bar glass stress as it applies to Prince Rupert’s drops.

Take a good look at the photo of the pilots.
First off, the term helmet is correct. Aviator helmets were mostly leather until after World War II. Here are some examples from the Smithsonian's collection: https://airandspace.si.edu/gsearch/flight%2Bhelmets?tag=topicids:302^*^topicids:371
Also, flight helmets had several functions:
Warmth and wind protection. At 15000 feet, the air can easily be -40 below zero F and you are flying an A6M Zero at up to 300 MPH, things are gonna be cold.
The helmet straps also hold the flight goggles in place. and in the above conditions, goggles are a must.
Have a close look at the pilots. See the wires sticking out of the sides of the helmets? Those wires are connected to radio earphones. Radio communication would be almost impossible without them.
