I happened upon an entertaining show last week, and if you get Discovery Channel, don't miss Myth Busters. From exploding stomachs to fat women's butts stuck on airplane toilet bowls, urban legends are put to the test. The great thing is, most of them proved to be highly possible! Jamie Hyneman, founder of M5 and creator of all things realistically fantastic hosts the show along with Adam Savage, builder and sculptor of interesting things. There's a lot of PSI talk along with general physics that would otherwise reduce me to a blithering idiot were I to repeat any of the formulas, thus, I am always intrigued by people who can build a replica of a 300 pound woman's butt cheeks out of materials that usually make up a jelly dildo, hoist it over an original airline toilet bowl, and create a vacuum that would suction the fat ass to the lip of the bowl and (as the legend goes) leave her stuck to the seat until the plane landed. All in a day's work - if I could, I would, in another life, have a much more interesting job not unlike these two guys.
