The thread about MythBusters reminds me...
Which is worse - CSI or Bones? I have seen plenty of retarded not-science on both. The CSI episode where they said that the head stamps on cases are made using an ESD machine was pretty funny. They even had one of those 2-second "video clips" of an ESD electrode burning the letters onto a case head! Man, would ammo get expensive if this was true! I think Jerry Bruckheimer is an idiot.
Last night my wife was watching an episode of Bones. I don't know if it was "live" or off the Tivo. Their geek squad was saying that a bullet had grazed a bone and that they could measure the marks left engraved on the bone and compare it to a bullet fired from the rifle to confirm that the wound was caused by that rifle. !!! Then they went on to say that it confirmed that it was "a military AR-15 rifle"... Last I checked my Marines don't cary AR-15's.
P.S. I thought the MythBusters episode where they were trying to ignite a gas tank with tracers was pretty bad. The graphic they put up explaining how air friction heats up the incindiary compound painted on the tip of the bullet (you know, the read part!) to ignite the tracer tip - I almost fell out of my chair.
