Dammit!
Well, the last time Jamie made a stone cannonball, they shot it once and couldn’t find it.
I think they made a hole in the house on purpose so that they could answer the question all Mythbuster fans have: does the carpet match the drapes?
I would think the crew knew what was on the other side. Just because Tori didn;t know his surroundings dosn;t mean no one there knew them.
And, series of tweets from Adam Savage over the past day or so:
Journalistic accuracy comes first as always. Read the caption in the San Francisco Chronicle: “Authorities continue with their investigation on how, exactly, the cannonball flew from Alameda County Sheriff’s range several miles away from the Dublin suburb” And well they should investigate how a cannonball was able to travel several miles.
I’m betting this will be the most-watched episode of Mythbuster’s ever. In fact, I’m betting that right now there are a bunch of network exec.s trying to figure out whether there’s a way to promote it as a primetime special without being derided as “tasteles” for the rest of their careers.
“We’ll make it the centerpiece of a Bloopers show!” “Yeah, that’s the ticket!”
Also, countdown to the Toyota commercial? “Sienna, so comfortable, you’ll never want to get out!”
I predict they will be revising their Ready-Fire-Aim procedure.
When I saw the headline, my first thought was “They finally found it!”
Either that or Frank will start yelling “Fire in the hole” a lot louder.
How awesome would it be if Cassata means castle in some language. Myth Confirmed!
I suppose Kari should be the one to test that myth.
I doubt that the crew is allowed to use the range completely unsupervised, but that is just an assumption on my part.
Nope, busted. The cannonball just bounced right off of Cassata Place.
It’s a Sicilian sponge cake soaked in liqueur, layered with ricotta, and topped with marzipan and candied fruit.
OM NOM NOM!
ETA: shakes fist at Marley23
Here is an aerial map of the cannonball’s path.
Th-that-that’s all, folks!
Mythbusters is doomed!
Insurance will skyrocket, either forcing them to close up shop, or force them to water down the show to Alan Alda levels of wimpy-ness.
Wimpy-ness? I actually hope this incident DOES have a chilling effect on their over-reliance of explosions, cannons and firearms. It seems like almost every show has them blowing up something. I actually enjoy the ones that don’t involve explosions, like the Monty Hall problem, airplane on a treadmill, the coughing in your elbow, rat urine on the cans, blue ice kinds of mythbusting. If that’s “wimpy” give me wimpy. I mean, yeah, we know shit blows up. And if it doesn’t blow up enough, they’ll just ramp it up anyway. Boring…
he ruined that show.
