Thanks for the heads up, nice that there is something actually worth watching for a change.

Sweet! Love the Mythbusters, great show.

When I visited the New England Sports Museum years ago they had this machine there called "Catching Clemens". You had to squat down like a catcher, put your hand in a catchers mitt, press your face into a catchers mask and you would see Roger on a mound in front of you in a video. You called the pitch and it would come screaming at you and the glove would "pop" and you would feel it hit the mitt just like you had caught a real Clemens pitch. I played with that little gadget for about an hour.

It was a pretty good show, but some of it turned out the way you would expect when you give such a task to the science club. You could def. do the experiments different and get different results.
