The Mythbusters

The Mythbusters is a science entertainment shows where five people named Adam Savage, Jaime Hyneman, Tory Belleci, Kari Byron, and Grant Imahara. They take myths, legends, movie scenes, and sayings and put them to the test.

The Mythbusters often test myths in two-step process. First, they would make a small scale experiment to understand all of the physics. Second, they would go full scale and test the myth to see if it is true. Sometimes thought so of the myths are so simple they just go for full scale. An example of this is was when they tested if one banana peel equals one person slipping and falling, but at times they see that going full scale is sometimes not the best way to test the myths and run some small scale tests to again understand the physics of the myth.

The Mythbusters are based in San Francisco and all of the filming is also done, but the show is produced in Australia. Then it is shown in Canada, the US, and several other countries.

After the experiment of a myth has been tested, the Mythbusters give the myth a busted, plausible, or confirmed. When a myth is busted, it means that the myth could not be replicated in any way even if they give it thee best possible chance of working. When a myth is plausible, the myth parameters have been replicated by expanding it by a realistic and reasonable margin, or was replicated very close as the myth said, or if the myth worked, but has a very small chance of working, and even if it is plausible, but the method of replication is not recommended, as well as if the scenario made a very similar result. When a myth is confirmed it means that the myth was either been recreated or closely recreated without them expanding the boundaries too much.

In conclusion, Mythbusters is known very well for the science implicated and all of the big explosions and crashes that are shown (the explosions and crashes are the crowd pleaser). This is why I really like this show for learning purposes and the ability to see a big explosion or crash now and then.

Future weapons

Future weapons is a show that showcases some of the smartest, and deadliest weapons of the future. It was hosted by Richard Machowicz who was a former navy SEAL sniper. It features many guns, missiles, bombs, planes, and tanks as well as many other things.

The weapons it feature are the TAR-21, cornershot, starstreak missiles, anti-missile lasers, and the XM982 Excalibur artillery shells, as well as the feared metalstrom capable of shoot 100000 rounds a minute which is scary. It also features vechiles such as the type-212 submarine, the feared AH-64D longbow Apache helicopter, the F-35 JSF (joint strike fighter), and the F-22 raptor, and the NOLOS cannon as well as many other things.

In conclusions, the world of the military is advancing very quickly, and this show shows us what we are capable of.

evensong....oh how i hate it

Evensong, a 35 minute church service that I think is a waste of time. They’re weird and dumb if they like it. There are multiple reasons that I personally hate it. First, I’m atheist which means I don’t even believe in God. Second, it’s super boring. Last, we are forced to join even if no one wants to go.

Being atheist means that I don’t believe in God. I don’t care about any of the lessons that people often read. I don’t sing any of the hymns or read any of the prayers. I think that they are all pointless those books in the chapel, I feel bad for the people who had to make all those books for the chapel. Being atheist means that I believe more in the Big Bang and evolution.

The reason that evensong is boring because you do the same thing over and over again. I mean all you do is stand, then sit, then stand, and then sit, see it’s pointless. It may seem very new at first, but it gets very boring very quickly.

I think that we should get the option to go to evensong or not. If no one wants to go then the school doesn’t even need to do it. I do know that it does make the schedule perfect, but the school can just replace it with another homeroom period, it is at least better than evensong.

In conclusion, most if not every person despises evensong. If everyone hates it , just do what I do get rid of it!!!!
