Hey, Spoiler Alert!

I have it on my DVR from earlier tonight. Might have to move it up the viewing queue.

Watched it. Pretty cool. Thank you for pointing it out. It may have been a day or two before I got it it.

It would have been a nice practical joke, well earned by the TPGs.

No big thing. Our government has been doing similar with our pay checks all the time.

I didn't even know Sci was still on demand. Hope I found the right episode they keep saying "demolition derby countdown" on it, episode 316, but the description doesn't match the one you posted. Did it have the tower of cards?

Seems this topic has been brought up numerous times:
If you are going to copy/paste my previous post, you could at least fix all of the links.

Anyway, thanks for doing it.

I meant to copy it when I first replied, but was so worried about the spoiler alert.

I finally watched it. Not sure why, I gained nothing from watching it that was any more enlightening that the pics already provided except it took 10k volts.

I am however left with more questions.. does the volume really remain the same? isn't this pretty much how the sandwich is made in the first place except with actual explosions rather than an explosion from the coil shorting out?

Also isn't this illegal due to the 2006 law for it to be done to nickels and cents? I am pretty sure a shield zilcoln would be just a pile of zinc mush after this cause the copper would peel away, but that isn't even shown. is there a link anyone has to the original "viral video" that this had its science tested on?
