Mythbusters Terrorizes Neighborhood with Flying Cannonball

Mythbusters Terrorizes Neighborhood with Flying CannonballWe found out yesterday that Discovery's Mythbusters is one of Republicans favorite shows. Today we find out that the show shot a cannonball through a California neighborhood causing wanton destruction. No wonder the GOP loves it so much!

Apparently while testing what sort of materials could be effectively shot out of a cannon (shooting and explosions: things Republicans love) an experiment went totally awry. The cannon missed its target (garbage cans full of water) and went through a cement wall. It then tore through a wall of a house, bounced off the roof of another house and then crashed through a window of a minivan where it landed. No one was injured, but the residents of Dublin, Calif. (near San Francisco: something Republicans hate) will be scarred for life.

The man whose house got hit on the roof said he thought "tree fell or maybe a meteor." A Meteor! How unlikely! That's crazy, man. I mean, of course it was a cannonball from a reality show. That is way more likely than a fucking meteor. Who gets hit by a meteor?

Well, it looks like whatever material that was sure worked. Myth busted!
