When I saw this on the local news last night, I laughed myself silly out of incredulity. A cannonball overshooting foothills, hitting the sidewalk, bouncing up and going through the front door, bouncing around the interior walls like a ping pong ball, going up the stairs, going out the bedroom wall leaving a cartoon-shaped round hole, flying over a six-lane avenue with traffic, smashing into the roof of the house across the street, and landing finally into a minivan. Thank god no one was hurt, but I have to say that was the most absurd thing I ever saw on the local news.
This is absolutely not going to be in any episode.
Too bad, 'cause I could see it now...
KARI: I heard this fantastic myth on the internet. The story goes that a person could fire off a cannonball with enough force that it could fly a half mile, hit a sidewalk, and then bounce up and go through -- get this! -- the front door of a house, go upstairs and fly out a bedroom wall without waking up three people sleeping next to it, and then fly over a six-lane road, bounce into another home's roof, and end up inside a minivan.
JAMIE: That's ridiculous.
ADAM: But it sounds like a helluva fun myth to bust!
GRANT: Agreed! We could go to the Alameda County Bomb Range, which overlooks suburban Dublin, and see if we could replicate the myth.
KARI: Boys! You can't do this with actual people's homes! And people could get hurt!
JAMIE: We are insured for things like this. Come on, there's not a slimmest chance this could happen at all. And we'll do it while people are at work....surely there wouldn't be daysleepers at home, right?
GRANT: Yeah right. This is Dublin we're talking about.
ADAM: Who cares! It's gonna be a blast! Let's go!
<snip the experiment>
KARI: Well, I say the myth is no myth.
GRANT: Totally not busted.
ADAM: But we sure made a mess, didn't we? Oops.
JAMIE: Why did you guys talk me into this?
ADAM: Well, we won't be allowed to use the Bomb Range ever again. But we can definitely say...
ENDING GRAPHIC: (falling metal slab) MYTH CONFIRMED.
