skydiving on... mythbusters?

[kingbunky 3]

just watched an episode where they were testing the 'a penny dropped form the empire state building would embed itself in concrete/go through a person's skull' myth. to see how fast pennies fall, one of the guys (the one without the moustache) went on a tandem jump and released a handful of pennies to find the terminal velocity of a penny. they didn't learn anything from that part of the experiment, but he had a lot of fun!

Hmm, we'll trade you new Mythbusters episodes for new Trailer Park Boys episodes!

nah, we're keeping those! trailer park boys rock! i think it's hilarious, partly because they are always shipping all their weed to moncton, where i live.
