I loves me them Mythbusters. (Warning — link to the show autoloads to loud audio.) But they can only blow up stuff for so long before something goes wrong. And it finally did — seems that they shot a cannon through someone’s house and into a neighbor’s minivan. Good pictures available at MSN. This can’t be the first time something has gone awry, either. In this case, no one was hurt; this is why people buy insurance. I can only imagine what sorts of premiums they have to pay for that insurance, though. Imagine and shudder.

My favorite part of this post was your line “that’s why people buy insurance.” Because you never know when b-list celebrities are going to shoot a cannonball through your s**t.
I sort of meant the Mythbusters’ insurance, not the homeowners with the newly-perforated dining room.
But hey, if the claim goes through the homeowners’ insurance first, that would surely make for one of the more colorful subrogation suits that Alameda County had ever seen.
They had one large explosion that caused a lot of damage at the nearby town. They talked about it in one of the summary episodes.
I admit, I’d be sitting there, drinking my coffee, when the crew arrived and I’d say, “I want damages repaired and I want guest appearances on at least two shows, one of which involves the .50 cal.”
