You need think about it. Despite the emails, the overwhelming evidence showing global warming is happening hasn’t changed.
“The e-mails do nothing to undermine the very strong scientific consensus . . . that tells us the Earth is warming, that warming is largely a result of human activity,” Jane Lubchenco, who heads the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told a House committee. She said that the e-mails don’t cover data from NOAA and NASA, whose independent climate records show dramatic warming.

Hi guys – with regards to the result of the Salsa Escape, you found that the salsa was more corrosive than the saline/acid/water mix, but weren’t sure why. Any chance it could have something to do with the capsaicin in the hot peppers of the salsa?

Quote “A powder charge equivalent to 1½ sticks of dynamite worked well and loosened or dislodged a lot of the dried excess concrete without noticeably damaging the barrel.”

A powder charge can never be equivalent to any dynamite or gelignite charge, due to V.O.D. and anyone making claims to such equivalents is only misleading the public completely

I agree with the last couple of guys.

Shanghai Noon, the bars were full length. In your attempt they were only, what 12 inches long.

Retry it with pure silk material and full length bars.

A urine-soaked silk shirt is strong enough to bend the bars of a prison cell when wrapped around them and twisted, as seen in the film Shanghai Noon; the bars you attempted to bend were significantly shorter then ones used in the film. with more length you get more leverage and then it is possible.

Hi, well you boys forgot that when you want to break a rock you don’t just stick the dynamite ontop of the rock and expect it to break. That will never work. So Adam and Jamie you clowns why don’t you try using a impact drill and drill a hole one or two foot into your concrete slab and then stick your explosive into the hole and see what happens. Because that is the normal practise for breaking large rocks. Maybe you two should get out a little bit more!
Really i thought you guys knew better than that!!
Lift your game! – Tim

hi im not realy sure its works but in your, urine-soaked silk shirt is strong enough to bend the bars. u used a modern machined silk shirt. in the time of the myth it would of been raw silk or today its called dupion silk used 4 wedding dresses its ALOT stronging, more so on the width of the fabric.ps your bar was way to short. in the movie it was at least 3/4 times longer. might be worth retrying ty Riki

One day I was waiting for the ferry in Alameda. Behind me I heard little bits of a conversation…”mutter…mutter…explosion…mutter…mutter…cement truck.” I turned to them and said, “You’re talking about Mythbusters, right?” They were.
