Myth Busters just had a big boo boo!

[EQGuy]

According to the local news the Myth Busters show just had a cannon ball get away from them and put a large hole in a house two miles away and also damaged a SUV parked on the street. Apparently no one was injured. They were filming a segment at the Alameda County bomb range at Camp Parks using heavy artillery. No other details.

I would say "Confirmed."

The guy with the cannonball-damaged minivan is missing a sure bet. Rather than scream about compensation, he oughta list the van on eBay as a "gen-you-wine, documented Mythbusters casualty." He could make a mint.

JMHO, FWIW.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

.. a cannon ball ... put a large hole in a house two miles away ....

Dang! That must be one helluva powder charge! Modern artillery, sure. But a cannon ball?!

Is this going to be the big lead for the upcoming season? I can't wait to see the promos.

As long as no one was hurt I sure wish it was my house at got cannonball'd! You know they're going to fix the guys house and I wouldn't sign off on the damages until they promised to let me blow some stuff up and crash a few cars with them on a future episode.

"Hey, Hold My Beer and Watch THIS!...."

The pronunciation is "wah chis".

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.

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.

Lee, you really need to get out more and get away from that TV. Its corrupting your mind

 

[Kavinsky]

Took out a minivan? hmph they did the world a favor.

would have been funnier if it was a prius though!.......actually I think clarkson did that already.
