I'd just like to take this opportunity to say... Kari Byron isn't all that hot.

So what exactly happened? Did the put too much gunpowder in the cannons?

What pisses me off is that apparently at least one of the homeowners is going to be a complete douchebag about this, which will likely lead to multiple lawsuits.

If it were my house, my demands would be simple:

1) Fix my house;
2) Share a beer with Adam and Jamie;
3) Lap dance from Kari

No lawyers needed.

Ponzholio: Anybody know what actual myth they were testing? Well, other than 'How much damage can a rogue cannonball do?'

From what I've heard, they were planning on launching a variety of non-cannonball items out of a cannon to see if they would fire. The shot that got away was the control, confirming that a cannon does indeed fire a cannonball quite effectively.

Ponzholio: Anybody know what actual myth they were testing? Well, other than 'How much damage can a rogue cannonball do?'

The myth was whether or not a stone cannonball could actually breach a castle's walls. Link

The answer is yes, yes they can

Nice pic of Kari... shame its not my big ball(s) covering her tits.
(some jokes must be made!)


It strikes me as seriously stupid that these guys claim to be professionals yet outside of their general understanding of physics they seem to have no experience with re-engineering and design testing. Beyond the simple fact that it was a BOMB range not a Federally Approved Artillery Range which is only an afternoon's drive from where they are.

That they were allowed to operate this equipment at the bomb range is NOT their fault, it is the Sheriff's office's fault.

I would have expected the cast and crew to have not been this stupid tho. When you select a location you ALWAYS choose one with clear downrange in excess of 50% over maximum engineering range of the weapon WITH the required angle allowing for maximum wind speed and equipment failure.

In the terms of old cannons we're talking about nine thousand feet and a one hundred sixty degree field backed by standing woods no less than a quarter mile deep. They should have called in Red Jacket for this one.

Per the video, they were testing different materials. Something worked.

Agreed. Remember when Natalie Portman was the greatest looking woman, ever! It is the way nerd icon lust works on the internet.

And who the hell would build a house next to a bombing range? And how big a bribe to the 'planning' department did this unmitigated stupidity entail?

Portman was super hot in the first flick but for some reason she became far less attractive at an alarming rate. It's not even like her looks changed all that much... she just got... bleh.

The first two or three seasons of Mythbusters was pretty good, but after that, they've pretty much dwindled down to BS myths and repeats of previous tests.

More twists and turns that a Lee Harvey Oswald bullet.
 
2011-12-10 12:59:31 PM
Wow. I didn't expect for so many farkers to agree with me on that one. Kari isn't fugly or nothin'... just a little on the dumpy side. Seems like a nice girl though.

And those guys were bound to have something like this happen. I'm amazed one of them hasn't been severely injured yet.

They're professional special effects/gag-builders/tinkerers, not engineers and artillerymen. This doesn't surprise me at all, really.

I guess it depends on what yanks your chain. I see about 10 separate instances of rule 34 in this image alone.

Holy crap. I bet those guys on the build team were shiatting bricks. I suck at judging scales but that looks to be at least a quarter of a mile from the range to houses, right?

She's just, I don't know, normal.... I never understood the whole "OMG She's wearing skin tight things bent over a desk and you can see her thong. LOOK IT'S HER THONG!" thing. Big deal. Had she done some ATM on the show to prove that it's really not dirty and ladies, go ahead and let you man do it, well, then I'd be in love with her. But basically I've chalked it all up to a bunch of nerds who've never actually seen a girl naked or had a woman bent over in front of them as the main reason for all the "Kari is so hot" crap.

By first film, I assume you mean 'The Professional', in which she was 13. And yes, she did get older after that until eventually she was not enderage.

I think you need to have a seat over there, for a long,long time...

Y'all are just pissed that 1) A couple guys did something with their lives and are having fun at what they do, and 2) Kari had some other guy's offspring and not yours. Butterface or not, you didn't get any.

That was her? That movie was f*cking creepy. Kind of like Jodie Foster being in Taxidriver.

I meant her Star Wars stuff.

Umm....puberty? So either you're a troll or a sick fark who doesn't know that he's a sick fark. Either way, you are pathetic

/Definitely wouldn't mind t'rowin' it in either Natalie or Kari, but they're by no means "hottest" anythings

I did not know it was possible to NOT know that was her....
