    I gotta say, that giant pool thing of corn starch at the end looked so fucking cool. I really, really want to do that for my birthday this year.

    Plus, my birthday is on july 1, so when I'm done fucking around with it I can light fireworks off in it.

    What, all the way from nock to tip? 'cause in the first one they showed a bunch of split arrows but none of them were all the way like in Robin Hood, and they said that's what they were going for

    It's definitely true that they're wrong sometimes, but then they're a couple of special effects nerds playing at TV science while attempting to find ways to blow shit up, so I can forgive

    I do not believe this is possible. Or if it is, it is the most insidious infiltration tactic ever. Well except for the fact that albinos stick out like a sore thumb.

    yeah

    best i can figure is that they just didn't get lucky when they used real arrows (it's not like you can do it with regularity and it is unlikely) and when they started using dowels at point blank they did not break along a single continuous grain boundary that went all the way from end to end

    also when i saw this happen (on two occasions) it was with composite arrows. not wooden ones. i have no idea if it would have been possible with oldschool wood arrows

    They film this show around here. I should drive aimlessly around till I find them.

    And what the fuck was up with those
    water shoes? There was no way those were gonna work.

    Im conflicted. I love the show, but I love ninjas, and they're saying ninjas aren't half as cool as I know they are.

    I saw them speak when they came to IUP.

    They showed an outtake from the 'is cereal less nutricious than the box it comes in' myth where one of the mice/rats/whatevs ate the other one because it was given to cardboard to eat.

    I <3 them.

    Did they show any of the banned episode about lighting farts on fire?

    That's pretty much the best thing ever caught on film.

    Any episode where they go diving is great because Jamie's moustache sticks out of the wetsuit and makes him look like a walrus.
