Just plausible. We don't know what type of construction was in place for these homes. Were they shanties or castles?

This is total bullshit.


I know this because of a previous mythbusters episode

that's umm... pretty bad news for the mythbusters crew

First I read this as "mythbusters: can a cannonball go through a horse?" and thought they were really running out of ideas for the show.

Then I read:

and had to cover up my laughter so the intern next door doesn't hear me not working.

myth house busted

I have a feeling whatever insurance policy covers the show is about to get more expensive.

Next season: Mythbusters - Brought to you by Esurance.

That's if there is a next season at all

that house came out of nowhere

This is what happens when you build your house next to the bomb range.

IT'S COMING RIGHT AT US, SHOOT!!!

the comments on that article

12/7/2011 11:21:35 AM

Wow. Just watched the video. They are INCREDIBLY lucky it didn't hit anyone in the first house and any of the cars as it went over the street. Would have loved to see a video of the ball doing all of that.

Any self respecting cannon ball is at least basketball sized. Get that weak softball shit out of here.

I felt the same way. They found some way to make it a liberal/conservative debate. They criticize the guys for "not using their brains." They talk about how they can't believe they would be so stupid as to not use proper safety protocols.

How is that a liberal/conservative debate?

^^Guy brings up a recent survey that showed which shows liberals/conservatives tend to watch. From there moves into, conservatives love science, but ignore evolution. Evolution is just a theory. Gravity is a theory. etc.
