I think their biggest was when they vaporized a cement truck.

I'd say it's busted on the windows and any hopes of receiving the key to the town.

It’s gotta be better than trying to catch a fart in a jar while laying in the bath tub.

It was the fire departments choice not to warn them, they were afraid too many people would show up and they would have to stop it for safety reasons.

My favorite is still the one where they sprayed non-dairy creamerand lit it. The explosion even scared them.

It was fun to watch Jamie jump when it blew up, and they were a mile away when it happened.

I rest better at night knowing that there continues to be scientific experiments confirming that igniting explosives still blows stuff up.

Science Never Sleeps. Keep up the good work!

“...in the name of science...”

Science? Please, these guys are hacks. Sub-par engineers laugh at their ridiculous assumptions.

I liked that show, my father could have stepped in to replace Red and he wouldn’t even need a script.

If they used 500# of real explosives they probably had to hunt around to find the feet to see if the socks were still there or not.

I’m gonna watch that episode...

You are right. The “Science Content” is usually stupid. But at least they are trying!
