I adore Mythbusters. Funny, smart peeps geeking out makes for some damn entertaining television. The DH has a big crush on Kari who he keeps saying reminds him of me, so I feel rather flattered. Also? Grant=rowr.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Mythbusters: Discovery on Wednesdays at 6 my time, which is I suppose 9 eastern?
Also? Grant=rowr.
Totally! Also, I love when he randomly brings out his battlebot for various applications.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The funniest episode of Mythbusters I've seen is the one where they try to outwit a guard dog. After trying various tactics, including the urine of a female dog in heat, they went for the crazy solutions.
Kari's was a giant ball she could walk inside, covered with plastic.
Tory's was basically a Dalek he could hide inside.
Grant's was a taxidermied cat robot.

Mythbusters: I loved that episode! Although I was so terrified for Tory once the dog worked out he could grab the Dalek's leg and turn it over. After the trainer called the dog off and Tory was all, he shoulda left me! I was all, yeah, you're tough guy now, but you'd have been shredded Tory if that dog had half a chance without you in the snowsuit!

RoboCat was hiLARious! I saw that episode right after I got out of the hospital, and I had to clamp a pillow over my stomach to protect it because I was laughing so hard.

Christian 'Idol' Contenders Move Past Sanjaya
Christian Post - 4 hours ago
NEW YORK - The odds of a Christian singer winning this season of American Idol have increased yet again as every one of the faith-backed contestants survived this week’s cut on Wednesday.
Is it wrong that my reaction to this was to wish that kid was still on there?

Thrive to spite them
I thought the only obviously faith backed contestant was Chris Sligh, who was booted after butchering The Police.
I guess they are refering to LaKeisha and maybe Jordin?
