Those of us who watch Discovery Channel on a semi-regular basis are probably quite familiar with the popular show "Mythbusters", in which a team of scientists take on some of the most well-known myths around (anything from Hollywood movie magic to ancient legends to old wives' sayings) to prove their validity.
Recently, they were firing off cannon balls at a bomb range near Dublin, California. Sounds like a typical day for the Mythbusters, no?
Well, it was, until one cannon ball missed the target, went flying over the hill, tore through a house, bounced across four lanes of traffic, bounced off another roof and finally ended up smashing through a minivan window. No one's quite sure how nobody got hurt.
In a word: Ooops.
In a few more words: The show is now undergoing an investigation and current myths are, understandably, on hold for an undetermined length of time.
