@fiveinchtaint: Yeah, there's this awkward vibe between them that I automatically read as being shamed-from-sex... Which is just awful because Tory is humorless and lame. But is that photo from Maxim? Because they never fail to make women I find sexy sort of unappealing with their ham-handed approach to photo shoots.

I love Mythbusters. And some of the episodes are too short. They could have extended their "do-fire-arms-really-shoot-under-water...?" hour to many, many more (covering the wide world of handguns, shotguns, chainguns, laser guns, rail guns, etc.).
