WTG QED! Good luck! > [@C K Dexter Haven](#): > > So, congrats, Q.E.D., but meanwhile, [nag]you haven’t come up with a Staff Report in ages.[/nag] I dunno, Dex. Now you may have to come up with some serious additional incentive to compete with Mythbusters. Like an extra mug, maybe. 😃 ---

Surpassing coolitude! Know, also, that you will be in the pantheon of gods worshipped by my 15-year old son. And, um, you might want to ask them to prove or disprove a myth I heard about. Y’see, there’s this airplane on a rolling runway… ---

Sorry to be a little late to the game, but let me add my congrats to the pile, **Q.E.D.** Almost as cool as when – ahem – I had drinks with Adam and [Kari](http://www.lfexaminer.com/img_0322.jpg) back in January. ---

And sorry to you Kari afficionados, but I’m told that she’s happily involved and she doesn’t really post much, anyway, even on the Mythbusters fansite forums. But, I’ll see if I can drag Adam or Jamie over here some time. No promises, though. They’re a couple busy guys! ---
