tragic is this, Anders. Any time you wish to remedy

would cheerfully volunteer to supply the drug-free

nurturing home for at least two decades if not more,
along with a kind-hearted older brother, and permanent
visitation rights extended to you and of course Ms.
Byron.</span></p>

Yes, Mythbusters is great - because it shows people creating and
testing things. We need more of that. This is why I can't stand most
documentaries: they usually show people having opinions or
describing scenarios, rather than checking against reality. And of
course, everything is more fun with a bit of explosions. <br>
<br>
In a sense Mythbusters is doing memetic eugenics, spreading good
memes widely in the memepool. <br>
