Duct tape myths on Mythbusters!
on: November 09, 2009, 04:13:16 AM
Ok, so it's maybe not a traditional multitool, but the Mythbusters are testing the versatility of duct tape tonight.

So far they have taped Adam to some plywood and hung him upside down, and made a potato cannon using duct tape on the joints.

Have seen part of that episode, they patched a hole under a boat using duct tape and build a duct tape boat! :D

I mentioned the duck tape cannon a week or so ago. It was a great show. However, to truly explain how useful duck tape is you need more than one hour. Heck, that'd require an entire 24/7/365 channel. Ahh, I'd pay to get that channel.

They started the episode by saying they could easily do a whole season on duct tape!

In fact, the Red Green Show has been on for years, and Red does something different every week with "The handyman's secret weapon, duct tape."  Here's a few:

Red Green is pretty entertaining.

I haven't watched a new episode of Mythbusters in a while (actually, a LONG TIME) so I have to ask... is/was Kari pregnant or were my eyes deceiving me?

She indeed is (or was?  I don't know if she's given birth yet) pregnant, yes.

Great episode, as usual.

And Jamie carries a Swisstool Spirit on his belt. :)

PS Maybe you already knew, but as far as I know this is the first time a Victorinox MT appears on Mythbusters, they (Adam mostly) usually use Leathermans.

The most recent news I heard was that she is back from maternity leave, so yeah, she was a pregnasaurus and not just another victim of too many Belgian waffles!

Andrea, you are right- I don't recall a previous Vic sighting on Mythbusters.  I know we have seen lots of SOG and LM multis, and I know Jamie is a fan of Fenix flashlights, but no Victorinox until now.

I either need better eyes or a bigger TV. When I see multi-tools on TV I always pause it but I can never tell for sure what kind it is.

In the last episode of Mythbusters I watched s07e10 (curving bullets) she was well pregnant. 7 more episodes to get me up to date tho.
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.
