  1. Was that the recent episode where they try to replicate "YouTube Videos" such as launching a car using water hoses? I tried to record that four different times, and they aired a different one in its place. Probably due to a conspiracy.

  2. Dunno - There's a video on link where one of them talks of a meeting the production team had with a large electronics Co, and a bunch of lawyers representing large credit cos...!

    Re Cars/Hoses - I'm sure I've seen that done, here in the UK - using Fire Engines, IIRC

  3. Having used them (at a safety course), I can report that firehoses pack quite a punch.

  4. I'd put money on that "car" not having an engine.

  5. Notice that this is linked to Bruce Sterling's blog - the man is a star.

  6. Yeah, but that'd be "fixed" by a couple more hoses... Probly H/S worried it'd fall on someone's head
