They're all professional enough to get over not liking each other on a personal level and it makes the shows so much better Also, it was great hearing Jamie talk Adam up and give him a few compliments when he got down about the tape failing. Jamie seems pretty socially awkward too so it really shows the respect

  • On the "Barrel Myth", for those of you who don't know, it's actually NOT a myth, it's the lyrics from a well-known Irish folk song with several titles. Some folks call it "The Bricklayer's Lament", some call it "The Sic (sick)Note", and some call it by how it starts out, which is "Dear Boss". The song relates the PURELY FICTITIOUS story of a construction worker (from around the turn of the 18th-19th centuries), who had the great-granddaddy of all bad days. The lyrics vary, from singer to singer, but my personal favorite version goes like this: 🎶Dear boss, I write this note to you, To tell you of me plight. For, at the time of writing, I am not a pretty sight. Me body is all black and blue, Me face a deathly grey, And I hope you'll understand Why Paddy's not at work today. I was working on the 14th floor, Some bricks I had to clear, And tossin' 'em down from such a height Was not a good idea. The foreman wasn't very pleased, He bein' an awkward sod, And he said I had to carry 'em Down the ladders in me hod. Now, shifting all those bricks by hand It seemed so awf'ly slow, So I hoisted up a barrel, And secured the rope below. But, in me haste to do the job, I was too blind to see, That a barrel full of building bricks T'was heavier than me. When I came down and united the not The barrel fell like led, And, clinging tightly to the rope, I started up instead. I shot up like a rocket, 'til to my dismay I found, Halfways up I met the bloody barrel comin' down. Now, the barrel broke me left shoulder, As to the ground it sped, And when I reached the top, I banged the pulley with me head. I still hung on, Tho' numbed and shocked, From this almighty blow, And the barrel spilled out half its bricks Some fourteen floors below. Now, when the bricks had fallen, From the barrel to the ground, I then outweighed the barrel, And I started off back down. I fell like Haley's comet, Falling from the sky and then, Halfways down I met the bloody barrel once again. Now, the force of this collision, Halfways down the office block, Caused multiple contusions, And a nasty state of shock. Still clinging tightly to the rope, I headed for the ground, And I landed on the broken bricks, Which were all scattered 'round. Now, as I lay there, bleeding, Sure I thought I'd seen the worst, When the barrel struck the pulley wheel, And didn't the bottom burst. Bricks showered down upon me, Sure I didn't have a hope, And as I was losing consciousness, I let go the bloody rope. Now, the barrel, being heavier, It started down once more. It landed right across me, As I lay there on the floor. It broke 3 ribs, and my right arm, And I can only say, That I hope you'll understand why I am not at work today.🎵"

    • I was surprised they didn't mention the song(s). Funnily enough, after I heard the song (The Corries' version, titled The Bricklayer's Song, with lyrics mostly the same as above) many years ago, I did idly wonder about the plausibility of such a sequence of events occurring in real life. I would add, however, that just because it's a song doesn't mean it's not also a myth (or vice versa): these things tend to mutate.

  • as a UK roofer, and having never seen this episode before, I’m so happy to see a gin wheel on mythbusters, honestly you’ll be so surprised what those two little bolts can handle, the structural force of one of those little bolts is what keeps any scaffold frame together, and you’d be surprised what level of rope burn (after the rope has chewed through your gloves that is) a tradie would keep enduring before letting £8 of construction product be destroyed (although when we’re speaking about 1m rolls of type 5 lead you would be destroying £100s of what is nowadays mostly a finite resource) Most of the scaffolders I know are normally pretty numbskull people, but you bring up any instance of structural integrity, or connection strength, and they have an almost superhumanly intuitive understanding of the forces involved, it’s honestly impressive, respect your tradesman because they understand massive forces they sometimes don’t even understand they understand, and that’s what makes them work so well, my hats off to all the scaffolders out there

  • The tale of Murphy and the Bricks goes back much further than 1918, it is based on an incident in a book called At Home With the Jardines, published in 1902 where it appears under the heading "A Letter From Jimmie." This is based on a story (probably fictitious) on page 4 of a newspaper called "The Vicksburg Post" from Vicksburg, Mississippi published on 8 January 1895. which starts off "the law of the attraction of gravitation was well illustrated on Cedar Street the other day. A man stood holding a rope".... this, in turn, may be loosely based on a song from 1885 by Frank Egerton called "How Paddy Stole the Rope" and it could go back even further than that.

Another version has it full of tools. There's are so many versions, it's called an apocryphal story for a reason 😅.

It was absolutely incredible to see them in Loveland Colorado during their tour. I got to see these fascinating individuals in person at one of the largest crowds they had on tour. Adam ran past me while exclaiming. "The people in the cheap seats deserve attention too." My quote might be off by a word or two.😢 I was only slightly upset while I had spent everything I had to come see this show, but I watched him carry his energy to others who needed it. Adam gave me the show that I came to see. Jamie was like my wife, bringing him back to reality. These gentlemen might remember me if they don't remember their biggest show...

    • there is a simple reason for that in an electric fence you have both a positive and a negative wire so when you get a shock its bechause you are making a short in the circuit but on what they did here the third rail only holds a positive current and the tracks the train goes on holds the negative to complete the circuit so their setup was bound to fail from the beginning bechause they chould have had another piece of rail as their ground point to set it us more realistic to as it is at a real train track :)

  • So as to the wee on the third rail. Ask any county raised kid or adult if peeing on the electric fence will cause you a shock. It will indeed IF the streak is solid and doesn’t break into globules. However, whether an electric fence or the third rail, it is unlikely to kill you (unless you fall down and crack your skull) because the current flows up the stream and then, looking for the patch of least resistance to ground can only pick one of your legs to travel down. This the current never crosses the heart. IF you were holding onto something that created an easier path to ground then it MIGHT be possible to put current across the heart but it wouldn’t be likely unless the current came in via one hand/arm, across the chest, and to ground via the other hand/arm. It’s all very basic electrical theory.

As memory serves, the old degausser was something like 500 turns of #18 enameled wire, with line voltage applied to the coil. That type, also strongly recommended against for Sony trinatron CRT's, as it was known to dislodge the shadow mask. Typical application was around waist level, circular motion to ensure uniform disruption of any magnetic field that had been induced in the television's shadow mask (frequently by strong speaker magnets from a stereo or child playing with a strong magnet against the screen). WIth my cards in my front pants pocket, yeah, erased the card every time.

  • The real danger in placing coins on a rail is that they can come shooting out when hit by a high speed train. Safe enough on a yard track, never place one on a mainline.

  • In Montreal about 15 years ago a young woman had to pee so she snuck into the metro’s tunnel to relieve herself. She did feel a charge and was brought to the hospital. What happened was that the amperage depolarized her heart. She was let go from the hospital and a couple of days afterwards suffered a heart attack from her heart trying to repolarize itself. Don’t pee on subway rails!

  • In the UK the voltage is 660/750 volts DC on the third rail systems. Or overhead systems are 25,000 volts AC, but its the AMPS that kill you. Plus the juice rail is clean, not rusty. But you have not mentioned whether AC or DC yet, so pointless. As a train driver, if you touched the juice rail Direct Current would pull you onto it and i would have two minutes to get the short circuiting bar down to cut the current and prevent oxygen starvation to your brain. As kids we often put pennies on the tracks the result was stretched coins up to three inches long.

  • Peeing on the third rail always seemed like a bad idea, but it's good to know that a normal stream breaks into droplets long before it hits the rail. The stream after six pints and from a distance of three feet seems like a different story. Man that woulda been funny to see them sloshed at work (which I recall from other episodes) and trying to science their urine stream.

  • The mistake they made in the third rail myth was insufficient bladder pressure. I know that when I REALLY have to go I tend to push, which can create a few seconds of laminar flow, keeping the stream intact all the way down. That is all it would take.

  • Magnetic bank card strips can be erased by putting them near high current electrical cables with pulsed DC going through them. After 25 years doing maintenance on electric drive forklifts and often having to test them right up max current in a stall condition, I think I was up to something like my 33rd debit card. I'd never remember to take my wallet out of my pocket and it would be inches from a few of of the power cables. The best thing ever was when they came out with the chips on cards. I've never had one of them screw up yet.

  • Actually, the placement of the pennies on the rails is key. On certain stretches of rail, pennies can cause problems when the train needs to engage breaks. On a controlled straight stretch, is not much of a problem.

  • THE SICK NOTE by the Dubliners. SONGTEXT Dear Sir, I write this note to you to tell you of me plight And at the time of writing, I am not a pretty sight; Me body is all black and blue, me face a deathly gray And I write this note to say why Paddy′s not at work today. While working on the fourteenth floor some bricks I had to clear; Now, to throw them down from such a height was not a good idea. The foreman wasn't very pleased, he beeing an awkward sod He said I′d have to cart them down the ladders in me hod. Now, clearing all these bricks by hand it was so very slow, So I hoisted up a barrel and secured the rope below. But in me haste to do the job I was to blind to see That a barrelful of building bricks was heavier than me. So when I untied the rope the barrel fell like lead And clinging tightly to the rope I started up instead. Well, I shot up like a rocket till to my dismay I found That halfway up I met the bloody barrel comming down. Well, the barrel broke me shoulder as to the ground it sped, And when I reached the top I banged the pully with my head. Well, I clung on tight through numbed shock from this almighty blow And the barrel spilled out half the bricks fourteen floors below. Now, when these bricks had fallen from the barrel to the floor I then outweighed the barrel and so started down once more; Still clinging tightly to the rope, I sped towards the ground, And I landed on the brocken bricks that were all scattered round. Well, I lay there groaning on the ground, I thougth I'd passed the worst, When the barrel hit the pully-wheel and then the bottom burst. Well, a shower of bricks rained down on me, I hadn't got a hope As I lay there moaning on the ground, I let go of the bloody rope. The barrel than being heavier, it started down once more, And landed right across me, as I lay upon the floor. Well, it broke three ribs and my left arm and I can only say That I hope you′ll understand why Paddy′s not a work today Writer(s): Pat Cooksey
