How im also raising my little guy

Hey, not extinct! There are dozens of us
Also don’t forget MST3K and Lord of the Rings!
Cosmos (the original)
Connections with James Burke
Secret Life of Machines
All of David MacAulay’s books

Life of Brian is arguably better for a ensmuggening Python based education.
Yeah but fewer people get the references

I rewatched Mythbusters recently. It's pretty disturbing, especially in the early seasons, how often they use actual human remains for what is essentially light entertainment. Like, they'll destroy an actual human skull for shits and giggles. They had disproved the myth on setting off an airbag with a slim jim and firing it into the head of a would be car jacker, but still had to replicate the results, so just shot a slim jim into an actual human skull, cheering and laughing as it's decimated. That was an actual person's skull. How they sourced it, and where the source acquired it, who knows. I'm fairly certain there is a family somewhere though that would be mortified.

Really? Maybe I have been missing them my whole life.

Maybe, in the far future, I elected to have my skull sent back in time for that purpose.
Because I totally would.

Do they say they're actual human remains? They make realistic facsimiles specifically for testing things like they test.

Youre very welcome to hold your incorrect opinion but please do not try to ruin other peoples fun. You could also tell us why you have your still very wrong opinion

Oh yeah, totally! When I die, if the mythbusters need my corpse to test a myth, they're welcome to it! If I could, I'd choose the "cleaning the decaying corpse smell out of a car" myth; remembered forever as an unforgettable stench. Or one of the giant explosions, so I could rest in pieces.

Nah, Life of Brian was just decent commentary. Holy Grail was silly in a pointless way that resonated with Nerd Boys in the 2000s.

Jamie personally sourced it. That's all you need to know.

Doesn't matter, it's not on the list for quality. It's an important piece.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]They do. They even go to a specific shop in one of the episodes: The Bone Room.
The Bone Room was famous - within its niche - around the world. Featured on Mythbusters, as well as having several appearances on local news magazines, written up in articles in local and nationwide publications, and listed in guidebooks, The Bone Room was a destination for travelers and one of the must-see places for locals to bring their visiting friends and relatives.

Connections 1 and 2. Maybe not 3.

If they don't get the references, they're just casuals.

"Meemaw, I'm so glad you came to see me! ...wanna go see some human remains?"

Cool. Like Ed Kemper.
Nice. Very cool.

Does Holy Grail not resonate with Nerd Boys now?
