Sounds good, pity we can't get a watchable reception on SBS here :(

Oh well, when we move, hopefully we'll have a real TV antenna

Yeah, prolly my favourite show since I first discovered it and started watching a while back. It's brilliant!

Here's the website - you can view some movies of stuff that hasn't been on the shows etc.

http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/my...thbusters.html

Here's another link for buying the DVD's - you can get all shows individually it seems or get season 1 set (5 DVDs) or season 2 set (8 DVDs) and get 'em all together for a discount.

http://shopping.discovery.com/stores...tnumber=713214

(Sorry for big link).

Coin off the building, nup. It'd hurt but certainly wouldn't cause too much damage. Definitely won't get embedded into concrete as claimed. The upped the power beyond terminal velocity and it still didn't do too much. Terminal velocity of a coin was a lot less than I expected as well.

Throwing hammer infront of you to break surface tension. Well, the fact that poor buster ended up with a severed torso meant that the 100 or so G's he went through after breaking surface tension is going to do squat. Time best spent kissing your **** goodbye than fumbling for a hammer on the way down.

The remote control police car and the explosive decompression on Mon night were tres cool, amazing that they were able to seal a DC9 up! Never thought they had a hope.

WARNING dont not jump off a high bridge into water and use a hammer to break ur fall cause YOU WILL DIE lol :Reverend: the G force was like 299 or something and if u get hit by a coin from the empire state building u wont be seriously injured lol
