@Paekakboyz even some of the more 'boring' stuff they did was funny...like trying to prove if crossing your legs enabled you to hold on form taking a pee longer or Walking through a field with a blind fold!
So much great stuff

One that sticks in my mind is they dispelled the theory using a cellphone while pumping gas can start a fire. Never happened no matter how many things they tried.

So taking calls on the forecourt is okay then? (Not that I would)

Yeah no sparks nothing, think they worked out fires would start from static electricity. Ie people getting in and out of their car, rubbing their asses on the car seat.

It's probably happened in a freak occurrence, just like spontanious human combustion.....or is that another myth ?

Something I found amusing coming across Central Asia, and the Western provinces of China... they refused to fill up a motorcycle tank from the pump.
It was considered "safer" - to fill some other canister, carry that across the forecourt to the bikes, and then pour that into the tank.
-
@Kruse That should be in the learning something new thread!
-
@Godder did some chick from laters eps die recently as well? Also I saw Adam Savage was being accused of sexual abuses.
-
@raznomore yeah Jessi Combs died trying to beat her own land speed record. She hadn't been on for a while but had mad skills too.
Adam is being accused by his sister! for stuff (apparently) done while they were like 8-9 years old or something. She's estranged from the family so who knows how that might pan out. Hopefully not true though!

Jessi Combs died a couple years ago, she filled in I think when Kari was away on maternity leave.
Died in a car crash ( she was a race car driver)

Peter Green is dead. RIP

@JC I was about to post something.
My favourite Fleetwood Mac song from that era.

@JC said in R.I.P. 2020:

Wow, embarrassingly enough I thought he died years ago.
He did some pretty cool stuff before Fleetwood Mac became soft rock bores.
He was one the few white blues guys who seemed genuine alongside other late greats like SRV, Johnny Winter and Alvin Lee ( but not Eric Clapton )
@Tim said in R.I.P. 2020:
Very cool in Enter the Dragon alongside Bruce. Also played a good baddie in Joe Kidd opposite Clint.
I love this particular scene.......

Denise Johnson, who sang with a bunch of groups back in the 90s has died at only 53. Her voice seemed to be on pretty much everything out of Manchester back then.

Cocoon is a good flick and the Thing is absolutely outstanding.

On a music-related theme, Martin Birch has passed away aged 71. He was the producer/engineer of so many classic rock/metal albums from the 1970s and 1980s (Fleetwood Mac, Deep Purple/Whitesnake/Rainbow, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath).

This Twitter feed is great. It notes when celebrities reach the same age (in days old for some reason) that Brimley was when playing an old fogey in Cocoon.

Harold Abrahams.
Who is most famous in NZ for his commentary on the 1936 1500m final...
Lovelock leads! .. Lovelock Lovelock... Jack come on! ... Come on Jack! ... My god he's done it ... etc

Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther) died of colon cancer aged only 43.

Bummer. More of a shock when they (rightly) keep news of any illness private.
I was intending to watch Infinity War and Endgame again over the next couple of days before this news. RIP.
-
@Nepia Wow, that’s a shock. That’s way too young. RIP.

Dame Diana Rigg.
Outstanding actress, genuinely classy lady and as sexy as hell as Emma Peel in The Avengers.
-
@Victor-Meldrew yes devastating to wake up to learn Emma Peel's arse has been taken from the world. Fortunately it lives on in the celluloid world.
A classically trained actress with an outstanding body of work. Able to excel in a broad variety of roles. Intelligent, sassy - one for the ages.

Only woman who ever married James Bond as well. On her Majesty’s Secret Service was one of the best ever and she was a massive part of that.
Bloody good in GOT as whats her name Tyrell as well.
RIP Tracy
