MythBusters!!



There are many questions out there that intrigue us but we never seem to have the time or the knowledge to find the answers. Questions such as, How many balloons would it take to airlift a man? Can a playing card be hurled fast enough to inflict more harm than just a paper cut? And if you eat Pop Rocks and drink soda, will your stomach explode from all that fizzy stuff?
MYTHBUSTERS is the show that will answer these questions for you. Hosted by Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage who are both well adept in the fiel of special effects. These two make it their solem duty to prove or disprove urban legends and many other nagging questions.
Jamie and Adam use a powerful combination of physics, chemistry, biology, and geometry to lay out their experiments, and usually the steps preceding the test are as fascinating to watch as the test itself. They often call in experts in rocket science, explosives, physiology, and other disciplines for background and guidance in specialized areas.
One episode took on the age-old Pop Rocks question as Jamie and Adam hung a pig's stomach, which apparently is similar to a human's, in a human skeleton to test its durability against six candy packets and a six-pack of soda consumed simultaneously.
The team makes a good comedic duo; Jamie's dry humor is the perfect complement to Adam's crazy antics and wisecracks. The fun, fact-filled show will answer some of those long-standing "what ifs" that may have been nagging at you, demonstrating how much fun science can be to boot. Especially for those of you out there that love to see explosions and destruction.

woot GTA IV!!!!!!!!!!!!!




This is the fourth installment of the popular series by Rockstar features improved graphics, new features, and new gameplay. Players take on the role of Niko Bellic from Eastern Europe. Niko has arrived in America, in Liberty City a land full of promise and opportunity.

Still, the wealth, the comfort, the bliss of the good life, it all really is here ... And it's all for the taking.
GTA IV reinvents the series with a renewed version of Liberty City detailed to the last pothole and rooftop vent. There are now four boroughs to explore plus extra area outside of Liberty City proper. With the ability to climb obstacles, drive cars, steer boats and pilot helicopters, the world of GTA is more accessible than ever before. There is also an online multiplayer mode included in this game which allows for battling through missions or just plain carnage and mayhem between you and your buddies.
The game play value of this is also out of this world. You can play for 40 hours straight and still not be able to make it through half of the story line. The AI is done much better then the previous games, the people are more interactive and carry out complicated tasks as they go about their daily lives. There are little features added into the game that it extremely addicting. You can watch the TV or listen to the radio channels for hours.
