Silly.

Boy is giggling like a little boy.

Mythbusters is on the Discovery Channel. Current myth they're busting involves peeing on the third rail.

He's giggling at the blueprints (animated). He's giggling at the man running around in a body bag. He's giggling at the building of the pee machine (skeleton, electro-gel, gelatin, etc).

It's like little boy heaven in here.

More Than Human? What is this? If it is referred to in the same breath as mythbusters, I needtoknow!!!!

Mmmmmmmmmm . . . mythbusters. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

oohh it's on discovery channel - usually same day as mythbusters. it's a really neat show. about people who survive weird things or who can do weird things. they do experiments kind of like the mythbusters guys to see how they survived or how they do it. :) you'd like it.

So which mythbuster do you have a crush on?

[snack.livejournal.com]

i have never fully thought about this question. in fact, i have never even considered it!

let's see. the dorky one is cool because he's funny. however, he really does some stupid stuff - did you see when he asked the older one to shoot him in the ass with the penny gun? hmm. and he poured the ballistics gel into the taped up legs for the peeing on the third rail episode - instead of gluing the damn legs. so, i'd have to say the older guy. he's quiet, intense, funny when he chooses to be, and i loved the look on his face when he got to remote control drive the jet car.

so yeah. the older one. besides, he's cuter.

Well, that's good. At least we won't have to fight over them. Unless, of course, krasota jumps in here. Clearly there aren't enough busters of myths to go around.

I haven't seen the peeing episode yet. I'm sure it's one of these episodes in my TiVo backlog, though. Is the jet car in that episode??

[snack.livejournal.com]

LOL - you can have them both! :) *grin* i just want to see them do cool stuff. ;) i'm a voyeur. ;)

no, the jet car & peeing are two separate episodes.

[jkatj.livejournal.com]

oooh!! The one I just started is the peeing one. Yay!!!

[jkatj.livejournal.com]

And thanks for the More Than Human tip. I'll give it a go.

hey, i've always wanted to know about that peeing on the third rail thing.

what was the verdict? busted?

[lightning-rose.livejournal.com]

Here on the Left Coast, the show starts in ~25 minutes.

I think urine is a good enough conductor that 2000+ volts could easily travel 3 feet or so.

I'll check back in 1.5 hours or so. :)

BTW, they did confirm that eating poppy seed seed bagels will cause false positives during urine drug tests. :)

[snack.livejournal.com]

it was busted. due to the fact that urine doesn't connect in a stream but in fact in droplets, it can't carry the current. urine can carry current but you'd have to pee about 4 inches from the rail for the stream to stay intact & then it would definitely kill you.

so, don't squat on the third rail. ;)

i think the quote was along the lines of: "so, if you're really drunk, barefoot, in the rain, and grab the rail with both hands while you pee directly on it, yeah. you'll get shocked."

[snack.livejournal.com]

exactly. i love how they go to whatever lengths necessary to show how the myth would occur. :)

[jaikob.livejournal.com]

I remember that one!

Them blurring the fake penis was hilarious, too
