Since the fridge gets simply ejected away in the movie, you could probably skip the actual mechanics of a huge forceful wind blast, that'll change direction at some point to fill the extreme low pressure zone at the blast site.

They could use the world's biggest chicken cannon with a fridge sabot! I would watch the living poo poo out of that. At the end of the last episode of Mythbusters, they showed the B team shooing the head off a zombie mannequin filled with meat guts. I don't ever remember seeing that before. Was it from a web extra?

Something that's always bothered me about Mythbusters is how often they have to put duct tape over logos or whatever on their clothes. They really can't just make sure they wear stuff that's okay for television?

While I didn't personally go see it, apparently the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago has a rather large Mythbusters exhibit. Lots of interactive myths like walking vs running in the rain and even dodge a bullet, although dodge a bullet is age restricted since they actually shoot at you with paintballs.

That was drat sad timing on Tuesday's episode of Deadliest Catch, with its segment on Jake Anderson's missing father. According to the story, he was found only a mile away from where they filmed that scene.

Haha, Elliot's ex filed for a restraining order while he was actually hitting opies. In After the Catch, he said she got it into her head that he was gonna abscond with the kids to Mexico, so it's entirely possible she's a bit crazy too (c'mon, they live in Homer, Alaska), but still. She was obviously pretty off-put by his visit and was keeping things light for the cameras (though, why she'd agree to them in the first place...) Then Brady showed up on After the Catch and proceeded to be a monosyllabic douche trying to defend his actions. Keith rightly destroyed him.

He was trying to get back with his girlfriend, but all he did was make it worse by showing up in the first place. Going by the latest episode, I get the impression that Elliot was making a ton of money back when he was on deck and that's all he cared about. He admits that his girlfriend called him years back crying for Elliot to come home after being out for 10 months straight and he just said no. The guy is a worthless poo poo who I genuinely wish misery upon. His family hates him, his crew hates him, the boat owner hates him, and it's all his fault to boot.

Ex: "This isn't your home." that made my ears prick up. That and his constant calling her, and jeopardising his how-the-gently caress-did-he-get-that job by just abandoning the crew to fly home mid-season. Also he's just so obviously a piece of poo poo from what we've seen on the programme and heard about from behind the scenes that I can see him being 'that' ex-boyfriend.

I haven't been watching After the Catch because it kind of grates on my nerves for some reason, but has it been established if Elliot still has a job? The thing that was so crazy is the dude is just oblivious that his crew isn't his entourage. Being on that boat is a means to an end and after all these seasons it seems like the one sure message has been "Let's hurry our asses up and not sleep so we can GO HOME!" Dude could've even let gear soak while he decided to go to Dutch to dial into his court appt, but no, that woulda taken some forethought which the guy obviously doesn't have. Anyhow, it's just weird that a person has appeared that I like less than Keith Coburn.

That bit was textbook "How not to handle yourself in a court case." It's hard to feel bad for Elliott given his behavior in the past episodes. I really hope he doesn't come back next year, I'm tired of seeing him and his boat. Cut him and give more time to Sig.

I can't imagine what Elliott's like on cocaine considering how he acts when he is sober. I wish the restraining order would put things into a bit of perspective for him about where he is and it might temporarily, but you can tell it probably won't wake him up in the long run and he'll keep acting like a dick. Also, Jake Anderson on the Northwestern used to annoy the hell out of me but he really has grown up and come into his own while people like Jake Harris still don't get it.

I'm convinced that a Josh Harris and Jake Anderson led boat would actually do fairly well. It's obvious that both of them are aiming for the captain's seat and will eventually get it. I never thought I'd think Josh would be a good captain but during Phil's death and thereafter he's been doing anything in his power to improve his abilities while his brother gets high and hopes it will happen.

Can't believe stupid Elliott left prime fishing to go into town and bear witness to a child custody hearing that he had no chance of winning. As soon as his ex dropped the number of times he called in two days and him showing up at her house, all he could say was "well uhh..." what a dummy. I don't know how his crew hasn't given up on him long ago. And that flooded tank poo poo on the Northwestern was scary. They could have just been gone just like that.

Why the hell did Elliot have to go into town to call on his iPhone? Why couldn't he have called on the satellite phone that he has no problems using to call his ex so often? Also, gently caress shooting a shotgun a foot from someone's unsuspecting head. And WTF, shooting AT the ship? The crew of the Time Bandit loves their guns.

I have the same question. Seriously, what the gently caress is wrong with this guy and why is he still running a boat? Does he not realize that Discovery is exploiting him for his stupidity and failure? And it is getting to the point where it isnt entertaining anymore. It is just annoying. I really hope Josh gets his own boat next season and they give Elliot the boot. Fire Storm posted:Also, gently caress shooting a shotgun a foot from someone's unsuspecting head.

I used to hate the Hillstrands for being so goddamn happy and positive all the time, but it is moments like that that make me like them now. They are fun, if a bit reckless.

Firing a gun the way he was, on the deck of a ship covered in ice isn't a bit reckless. It's loving stupid. The man shouldn't be allowed to own firearms.

Yeah, I undersold it, it is stupid. But still it was entertaining. Fourtner was standing right by him, and he got a kick out of it. Do whatever you have to do to motivate your employees, and his employees are motivated by explosives and guns. This is the same crew that used a mortar to de-ice their crane, and broke their coiler in the process. Also, I like how Josh stands out of the way whenever they do something stupid, and comments on how stupid it is. Like I said earlier, he really should be running a boat.

Here's some more piling on Elliot. I don't know if they mentioned this on the show, but at the end of the last crab season the Ramblin Rose got hit with a fine for undersized crab. To be a little more fair to Elliot, I'm sure most of the blame could go to the crew on deck, but did Elliot really have no idea they were shoving that many undersized crab (5.5% -- the most that wildlife trooper had ever seen in an offload) in the tanks, especially when he seemed so desperate to get crab last year?

That's really stupid of the crew. I swear in an earlier season they said that if there are fines for small crabs or too many females that the fine is deducted from the crew shares and not the boat's profit.

Every crew member on the Wizard took home $151,000 for the Opilio crab season  I loved Keith's meltdown when he found out that the ice almost carried the Wizard into the beach while Monte was captaining it: "Happy loving Happy loving Happy loving Happy loving Happy loving Birthday to me!"
