I know that Ken likes Mythbusters, and figured enough others did, or would, to warrant posting this:

650 mph rocket sled vs. car

Not often is "awesome" a massive understatement.


Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

My 12 year old son and I watched that episode together the other day. It was a great family moment.

Reminds me of the other show on the discovery channel where they shoot everything with high speed cameras.

So fun to watch.

That "other show" is called Time Warp... Pretty fun too since it usually has something to do with the high speed filming of something else being destroyed...

Mythbusters, Time Warp and The Science of Sport, some of the best TV shows out there.

As far as I'm concerned, Mythbusters ought to do a special show with the Time Warp guys and just spend a whole hour re-shooting the rocket sled crashing into things from every possible angle with their highest-speed cameras. The rocket sled was one of the coolest things I've ever seen on Mythbusters. The replayed it over and over, and I think I doubled the count with my DVR. Seeing that sled just "eat" that Ford Aspire was incredible.

Ranks right up there with the exploding cement truck.

But I totally agree, Mythbusters & Time Warp are two of the more worthwhile shows on TV.

That new Davinci one that was advertised during Mythbusters also looks interesting. I haven't watched it yet, but it's recorded. Anyone watch it? Was it worthwhile?

Doing Davinci was pretty cool. No Mythbusters though. \:\)

I'd follow Grant Imahara just about anywhere - except twitter. I really struggle to understand the point of Twitter.
