Very off topic - Mythbusters and cannonballs
« on: December 07, 2011, 10:49:20 AM »
This is really off-topic, but no doubt a lot of people here watch the Mythbusters show on the Discovery Channel and so might be interested in their latest exploit.  It seems they were testing their black powder cannon again and it misfired. I'll let the following news report take up the rest of the story:

All of the local news channels are running updates to this story. Adam and Jamie visited the target homes today and apologized to the owners.  They said that this cannon episode will not air on their program.  The Sheriff says that there will be no more cannon target practice occurring at the bomb range any more and it is still up in the air if the Mythbusters will be allowed back on to the range for any more exploding myth busting.
