Gearing up to head out (squeeee) but I have to comment on last night's Mythbusters:

Loved the "duct tape" special.

And the duct tape sailboat was, I think, one of the most WONDERFUL builds they have ever done. It was just beautiful. (As they were putting it in the water, I said to the tv, "I SO want this to work!" And it did! It was sheer awesomeness. I was chuckling with delight the whole time they were sailing around in it.)

I mean, the duct tape cannon was nice and all, but you kind of expect things involving projectiles and black powder from the Mythbusters. You don't expect a working sailboat. Made out of duct tape. (The fact that they named it the "Stuck on You" made it even better).

I watched it with my son as well. He was bummed that he couldn't watch "Dirty Jobs" but he liked the blowing things up stuff okay.

I met those guys at a science fiction convention in Saint Louis a few years ago - they were very witty in real life as well!
