HA! It's T.V. Don't they have T.V. here?

IIRC, They bought the car used so it wasn't really that bad. And hey, it's the Discovery Channel's budget so, go for it.

Yup...

We shore do have tvs here. And when the weathers just right, we can even pick up stations in Texas :shock: I've heard some folks in the city have them big round rabbit ears that point at the sky. I've heerd that they can get as many as 5 or 6 stations. :shock:

Discovery Channel. aside from the occasional-and-getting-rarer episode of Unsolved History, it's about all I watch there anymore. it's one of the best shows on TV, though I gave up on the forum there a while back, on account of I was tired of asking people there if they'd ever watched the show. (here's a hint: don't suggest that they test something they already conclusively disproved, like dropping a penny off the Empire State Building being able to kill someone.)

Hey Superluminal, wanna have some fun? Watch this:


Hi gillianren,

I know for a fact that Ice Bullets can really be made. The MythBusters just don't know what they're doing.

Ducking and running for cover.

They also reused the pigs on another episode. They dug up a section of the sidewalk and buried them under dirt and concrete to prove that ground sounding equipment could betect voids in the ground under concrete. They were preparing to go to Giants stadium to see if Hoffa was buried anywhere there.

They didn't find Hoffa but damn near passed out when they dug up the pigs again :shock: :P

those were different pigs. trust me--those first pigs were in no state to be reused, even if the episodes hadn't been in different seasons of the show.
