Do they realize the irony???

I prefer the stuff that really works, like removing the top and bottom of two pop cans, the top from another and duct taping them all together with the one with only the top removed on the bottom of the stack. Make sure it's taped together really well... you know, I think you're gonna have to PM me to get the rest of the details, I don't want anyone getting mad at me for putting this up in public in case they or one of their kids tried it and got hurt... Just because WE didn't get hurt as kids doesn't mean that others won't...

Mythbusters is genius. They did a two-hour pirate special, which includes a really great explanation of why pirates wore eyepatches. (I last saw it on YouTube)

I need them to prove to my sister, however, that keeping one window open when you turn on central air conditioning does NOT let the hot air out but rather keeps the fucking room humid and the AC running. Grrr.

BTW: They proved the science behind the Mentos/Diet Coke thing, but they they DISPROVED the story of the guy whose stomach 'exploded' after consuming both substances together.

[Paden]

Have I told you that I love you lately, Hecubus? I've been trying and trying to tell the hubs that a stomach cannot explode, but he can be soooo stubborn. I guess that's why he wouldn't give up on proposing until I said yes, he wore me out!

My childhood beliefs have been ruined, I wanted to be the first person to try poprocks and soda together! Guess it was just a silly dream.

Pop Rocks and soda can't be any worse than chocolate Pop Rocks.
Those were gross...

Mythbusters is genius.

Truly it is. I haven't seen it in a while, though. I kept hoping they'd bust one of the myths I remember from High School; that if you mix a certain shampoo with a certain conditioner, then all the hair on your head would chemically fuse together.  :shock:

Hecubus, maybe you could call the customer service department of your sister's power company and have them explain to her how NOT to run a central air unit (or at least send a brochure). That's how I broke my SO of his annoying habit of turning ours on and off like a light switch. When he discovered he was needlessly jacking the bill up, he quit.

Wasnt it suppose to have been that kid Mikey from the Life cereal commercials that was the person who died from the whole Pop Rocks and soda ? I know he didnt really, but wasnt it the way the story went.

Yes, that is one form the legend takes.

ETA:  However, the standard form is just the warning part.

[Classlicity]

if you're very curious, but cautious, try diet strawberry soda.  It tastes just like poprocks.  My girlfriend loves the stuff.
