I’d already seen the episode, so I knew they’d used pigs that had died of natural causes. Nonetheless, they left that out of the gray summary box above. Even more amusing/disturbing is that they omitted the qualifier ‘dead’. (“Two pigs were placed in a car…” Did they make an effort to escape?)

Who’s to say it was edible? It could have easily been a throw away carcass.

Speaking of killing people. You own a computer while people stave to death. Maybe you should think of your own lavish self indulgences before you judge others.

England only partly uses the metric system. Drive thru London, and the street signs use miles and yards….

The Pig was not killed for the show it was a dead pig used for the show
I guess some would say the Pig could have been used for this or that but again the Pig was dead not killed for a show

They got the pig from a butcher–as all their carcasses. They chose a pig because they are the closest to human internal systems–moreso than apes! Film meat; make money, welcome to the Corporate Socialist States of America!

You picked an excellent forum to discuss metric vs US customary units: the results for Mythbusters’ 7th episode. Well done.

This is the one episode that makes me cry. :)
I own an 87 Corvette. As an owner of the same Corvette, It would be very difficult to remove all the parts and then clean up. It could be done, but not reasonably.

If it was a ZR-1 version or other rare C-4, it may be worth the clean up. But otherwise, just take to junk yard for what they would give you.

Not realistic because dead bodies in cars are not sealed the way you sealed that car.

Of course, the next myth to be tested is whether a person with killer body odor will leave the odor in the car. Or does the “O” actually leave with the “B”?
