transporter 3 WTF?
yeah I know it's mindless entertainment... (on SHO right now) but
really? both the breathing the air from your tires thing, AND a car that was completely underwater is now running again after only a little fiddling with a basic socket set? I'm offended that anyone thinks I'm that stupid... nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

They are "artistic types" who are totally opposite the "handy/mechanical types". Some will take the time to research technical matters or hire technical advisors. Most live in a world of fantasy though. I knew one TV writer who could not change the tire on his car. |

And those are the ones that make me go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQg8JKo_3ZQ yeah, I'm that guy in the movie theater I could have *almost* believed the "car running again" thing if I'd seen a case of WD-40, a couple really big drain pans, some oil, transmission fluid, gear oil, etc. etc. etc... I mean, it just got wrecked 15 minutes later so all it had to do was run, forget about repacking the CVs and wheel bearings etc. nate |

The Mythbusters guys, although their methods are only semi accurate, are fun to watch as they explode some of this pap. Kari is fun to watch no matter what she is working on ;>) |
