I do believe that a tpoperry foreclosures can have a important effect on the debtor’s life. House foreclosures can have a Six to ten years negative relation to a applicant’s credit report. A new borrower who have applied for a mortgage or almost any loans for that matter, knows that the particular worse credit rating is actually, the more hard it is for any decent mortgage loan. In addition, it can affect any borrower’s chance to find a quality place to lease or rent, if that gets the alternative tpoperry solution. Interesting blog post.

I am doing the Phone book friction experiment at school for science fair and am going to have the entire seventh grade (about 50 studens) pull on each side like tug of war. Thanks for the expeiment idea!

P.S.
I LOVE your show!!!!

I’m just surprised ya’ll r still commenting on this thread… O and the phone books were separated. They were 1, now they’re 2. Its not that difficult. The myth doesn’t say they have to rip at the pages or separate there. I think you’re all taking to many liberties with this myth…

I did this with two 100 page notebooks and even that was hard to seperate. Eventualy one tore in half… Anyways i agree with geoff they should call it partly confirmed

Actually, the phone book one would be confirmed because it is technically impossible to pull anything. Every force is a pull. But thanks for the great episode I’m using it for science I’m just not sure how to explain the friction part.

The way they edited this episode, they didn’t say if the presure drums burst for the 2nd explosion which was big enough to kill the shark but just didn’t look like the one in the movie!

What makes Mythbusters different than watching a sit-com is that it’s based on science. I want to know that information!

Also, movie explosions sizes are always exaggerated, so you should really be testing what would kill a shark, not what looks like a pretty boom anyway.
