Did anyone see Mythbusters tonight?

They said busted, possible, and confirmed \n\nMainly because it's almost impossible to shoot straight up and if a person is off by as little as 8 degrees you still have a lethal trajectory

You need to watch the discovery channel a little more, you have several "facts" twisted... no offense.

Mythbuster's "science" is a bunch of hooey.\nCiting that as evidence for or against something is not a very convincing argument.

Hahaha - share your pain.  While stranded up in VT over the winter, my guy and I rented a VCR and The Aristocrats to watch back at the hotel (yes, we PAID to use a VCR ick).\n\nWe were enjoying some bubbly and were a bit giddy - yet did not find it the least bit amusing.  At first we thought we were missing something - like there was something inherently funny about it, but we were missing a piece of information about the punchline.  We couldn't finish watching it!\n\nFriends of ours watched it as well and while they found it funny that Bob Sagget was talking so dirtily, there was nothing actually funny about the joke.\n\nIt's too bad, too b/c I would like to have enjoyed it, given all the hype I read about it.

Okay, I was had, and I am dumb A couple of readers have written in (and my thanks to them) to tell me that the “fight” between Michael Strahan and Tom Arnold on The Best Damn Sports Show was, in fact, an April Fools Joke. My congratulations to everyone involved. I didn’t think those guys were capable of such a quality ruse.\n\nSome commentors made some pretty good points about the inauthenticity, too. You’re a clever bunch, Deadspinners.\n\nThe entire set-up was a ruse, too. Tom Arnold didn’t even write a book. They went all out with this thing. Giants head coach Tom Coughlin and general manager Ernie Accorsi were briefed ahead of time that it would be happening, so they wouldn’t flip out.\n\nWell done, Best Damn Sports Show.

Yes, the discover channel show myth busters actually did a show on this once after someone asked the same question because they watched a cannon ball bounce in a war movie.  Cannon balls are very heavy...so if they hit a soft or low density surface like dirt or grass they will generally make a divet and come to rest where they land.  However, if shot from a low trajectory they CAN skip...like skipping rocks on a lake...in fact if shot at a fast enough speed they can even skip ON a lake themself.  When dropped from ontop of the myth busters studio building the cannon ball hit the concrete, did some major damage that made Jamie really mad and rolled off the sidewalk BUT fascinatingly enough...slow frame film showed, afterward, that when the cannon ball rolled off the sidewalk it actually bounced once...a tiny tiny bit.  They also did some research with revolutionary and civil war historians and found that a VAST majority of cannon ball injuries from that era actually CAME from low flying cannon balls taking off legs and such just like in the movie.  In fact the true myth wasn't the bouncing of cannon balls...it was the big explosion of dirt and shrapnel that fly out and take down 15 guys around it.  Cannon balls dont break up when they land like grenades and bombs...so that doesn't really happen.  Sometimes if the ground is soft enough there will be a big dust cloud but unless the ground is covered in nails and scrap metal...there won't be any shrapnel in the dust cloud to cause damage.  Most of the time, though, the ground was uncultivated so it was generally hard enough that a cannon ball landed with a thud and stayed there.  According to the experts there were even opportunities after a battle for the winning side to go out and gather up all the expended canon balls off the field and re-use them.  The single greatest danger from cannon balls at that time was actually the low flying bouncing ones that skipped over the ground and ripped legs off as it went...(by the way in the scene in The Patriot where it bounced high enough to take the guys head off...that was busted.  They're too dense to actually BOUNCE like that...they more or less SKIP which is still a form of bouncing but most injuries were leg injuries NOT decapitation by cannon ball)...there was a low chance of a cannon ball landing directly on a person but the odds were outstanding...I can't recall the actual numbers now but I know when I watched it...my jaw dropped.

Have you ever seen Myth Busters?\n\nAdam took a long pipe and put a conveyer belt running through it, attatched a huge magnet the top, put the hay on the conveyer belt a little bit at a time and it work great! He kicked Jamie's butt!

nope, just an urban legend. Same as people with pickup trucks driving with the tailgate down to reduce wind resistance (that one was actually proven to take more gas by the guys on Mythbusters)

No.  The whole thing was faked to make it seem like it was, but everything was actually staged....not a true story.

I got teary eyed and am also sad that it is really over.\nI am not going to listen to those people who were not fans.\n\nI don't know what I am going to watch on Monday nights since it is over.\nIt was nice to see Barry Watson and Jessica Biel one last time and I liked the flashbacks at the end of what they looked like when the show first started.
