When Mythbusting Goes Wrong
http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Co...otoblog600.jpg
You see, it seems as if there was a slight miscalculation on the part of the science-meets-stunts show when it fired a cannonball on a bomb disposal range in Dublin, Calif., yesterday.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the projectile was supposed to hit some rather large trash cans filled with water before piercing a wall.
Strangely, it missed the trash cans, tore through a cinder-block wall, bounced its merry way down a hillside, barreled 700 yards through a suburban California neighborhood, smashed through the front door of a house, bounced up the stairs of the house and, without knocking, penetrated a bedroom door where a man, woman, and child were sleeping.
They were only woken after the cannonball had passed through. There was a little rubble and dust.

Holy Sh*t!
I would tell them to fix my house and hire me and I wouldn't sue. Or fix the house and give me full unrestricted use of Kari Byron for a weekend.
