Oh, I do watch it from time to time. A lot of the stuff they do isn't 
that interesting. I did see them testing whether you can use explosives 
to paint a room (no, oddly enough), whether shooting the window of an 
airplane causes it to explode (also no), whether that guy in the Darwin 
Awards could have got shot in the groin by using a bullet as a car fuse 
(yet again, no), and whether a coin dropped from the top of the Empire 
State Building would puncture human flesh (surprisingly, no).
