Everytime I see Mythbusters I remember Grant and miss him

My son in law made a boat using only three things. He was limited to using cardboard, duct tape and paint. I couldn't believe it would float but it did. And, it carried six older teenage boys. It was a contest in Harrison, Arkansas. The challenge was held yearly with some pretty impressive boats. Yes, they had to race them in the lake.

My cousin was standing in the yard as a kid while her dad mowed the lawn...a stray small piece of metal came through the blade at a fast enough rate to impale her...emergency surgery to remove a 2 inch piece of metal impaled in her stomach..
glad it wasn't her head...or eye...

9:10 the Mythbusters also made a fully functioning mortar cannon that fired bowling balls out of duty tape. The layers of tape were made to be about an inch thick, and the only damage done after each shot was slight powder burns on the interior, and the bowling balls flew surprisingly substantial distances for each shot.

Myth: exists


Mythbustera: *I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK*

I can attest to the molten lead myth, once while moving a lead ingot mold (melting tire weights into ingots to later mold into warhammer minis...) I tilted the mold too far and watched in horror as molten lead poured into my palm of my ungloved hand and onto the wooden tabletop instantly burning into the wood. I was amazed to find my palm completely fine. Needless to say I didn't repeat, and put on my leather glove.

I absolutely love that Mythbusters is now a completely legitimate reference source

Snakes and other animals coming up through toilets? That's a fairly common occurrence in Florida.

Gorilla glue has definitely proved itself in many ways **coughs in Gorilla glue girl**

My cousin lost his eyesight because of a piece of wire coming out of the lawn mower when he was 4 years old and now he's 40 something and can work on vehicles like he could see

[ZeroKage]

I've always had an irrational fear of a rock being launched by a mower at me and now I just know it wasn't as irrational as I thought.

I just want to learn how to break glass with a high-pitched note so I can go into a restaurant with glass plates, cutlery and glasses and see what happens.

Fun fact: "duct" tape was also used by US helicopter pilots during vietnam war, if their rotor fan was hit by bullets pilots were to place a duct tape on the holes before the replacements come in, if the holes left unchecked, it would affect the aerodynamics of thaircraft and it also create a whistling sound.

[MartinTedder]

If you stick duct tape on itself (sticky side on sticky side) and pull it apart, it illuminates (ever so slightly....only visible if it's really dark)

I partially felt two of these.
I took a stone from an electric lawnmower to the knee and it really hurt. I was lucky the knee did not break.
I also had been splashed with molten lead, which did not do much damage, as it was just some tiny droplets. The guy who dropped the pot of molten lead was wearing trousers (I had shorts), so he was also unhurt.

Something that works even better than swearing for relieving pain is laughter. I figured this out randomly one time when I crashed on my bicycle. The pain caused by this particular crash wasn't as painful as others before it but the pain did seem to subside faster after a good laugh. Laughter helped me out in high school and during my time in the Navy. It deterred altercations. I hit on someone's girlfriend not knowing she had a boyfriend earning me a punch in the stomach. I laughed it off and told him he hits like a ten-year-old girl. That earned me another punch to the gut where I laughed even harder and said correction seven-year-old. The guy looked at me in disgust and walked away. From that point on no one ever got physical with me in school ever again.

Laughter is something you can definitely use in the office.
