I see a whole career here-

Sue Mythbusters.
Pawn the cannonball at Rick's.
Get on Judge Judy's show to get the van fixed.
Get a new house through the House makeover show.
Get on Dr Phil for counselling for the cannon ball phobia.
Do talk shows about the event for 2 years.
Start a foundation to outlaw cannons.

You forgot the reality show "Real Housewives of Dublin who had a cannonball shot through their house and car"

The video cut out half way through, but it did make some pretty nice round holes in the dry wall. Almost looked like saw-cut. I suspect this will be the end of all shooting subjects on MythBusters. They will have to go back to dropping toast off a roof to see if it will land "butter side up" I'm sure some legislation is right now being put together in Sacramento.

I was surprised to learn that the cantaloupe has been adopted as a unit of measurement --- is this now common usage, or peculiar to California?

...convince the Meteorite Men it was smacked by a small slow moving falling iron asteroid & they need to buy it at $100/gram

Wonder if that episode will be aired.

Wonder if the "Dream Team" has been put on retainer? Dale

I haven't been watching Mythbusters much. I came to appreciate the rocket scientists over at National Geographic and their insane weekend experiments a bit more.

I wonder if I could get my old friend Dan a show. He used to fall out of trees, set himself on fire (and run around afterwards hoping the oxygen would smother the flames), electrocute himself, poison himself with roach spray, stick his bare hands into clogged up toilets, etc. Would make for compelling TV.

You really only get to electrocute yourself once. After that the shows kind of over.

Don't take your cannons to town son
Leave your cannons at home Bill
Don't take your cannons to town

It's fairly common in states that regularly get large hail.

According to the AP report:
"Once it was launched, the cannonball traveled about 650 yards, bounced in front of the home, then tore through the front door and exited through a wall on the back of the house."
When I was a Range Officer in the Air Force, anything closer than 1000 meters to a live explosion was considered "danger close." A residential area within 650 yards of a bomb range is an invitation to a disaster. Hope the producers, and local government that owns the range, have deep pockets.

The round holes look a little suspicious to me. I doubt I could drill a hole that perfect, without tear out.

Was this there last show? Really what else do you expect from two special effects guys? It's bound to happen. Could of been worse. Still love there show. There's a reason all the shoreline forts had cannons.

Now they can go down with the ranks the include guys like Soupy Sales?

Just another ah ha moment.

Well Mythbuster's has now proven something. It's a myth that even under controlled circumstances the outcome can be predicted when dealing with a dangerous object!

A few ago out at Moriarty, NM I saw pumpkin gun go viral.
It was demo- at a Hallowen pumpkin patch and shooting down a road.
He angled it away from the road and hit a mobile home about 1/2 mile away.
Pumpkin cannon shooting over!
