- kentbrew 6y agoNothing is over until Mythbusters says it is. Picturing in my mind right now a guillotine with a fifty-pound blade made of human shit frozen in liquid nitrogen ... I bet it would stand up to a single impact just fine. And if it didn't? It would still be pretty awesome.
- vikramkr 6y agoI actually really appreciate this research - this is proper Mythbusters type stuff, looking at debunking an urban legend. Also, considering that this is an urban legend originated and propagated by an anthropologist also apparebtly known for his work with psychotropic plants[0], who also already has had an incident of dubious claims bring criticized, perhaps this is a good wakeup call to see how reliable Wade Davis' other findings are as well.
