Carnage Report: Appendix B

Posted under Awesomeness, Friends

Okay, last phonebook related post for awhile.

I just have to finish up on this though.

The Rayford joined the club.

The Rayford suggested one with “the face”.

And if this just doesn’t put the cherry on top, look at what arrived at our doorstep yesterday…….

………More practice

There’s seven there if you can’t tell from the pic.

I thought that was the funniest thing, that right after we got through ripping all our phonebooks to pieces, twenty brand new yellow pages show up.

Manna.

Carnage Report: Appendix A

Posted under Awesomeness, Friends

John Michael took it to heart, when in my last blog I said Rayford and JM couldn’t complete the feat….so today he completed the feat. I also ripped my second phonebook in half.

I’m not really sure how we got all these phonebooks in our apartment.

But they were like manna after we saw that Mythbusters episode.

Phonebooks will fear our apartment in the future.

You too Matt.

Carnage Report

Posted under Awesomeness, Fun, Mythbusters

I ripped a phonebook in half today….

Phonebook Mayhem

It’s not a joke, I really did rip it in half with my bare hands.

You can ask Rayford and John Michael.

Rayford and I watched a Mythbusters episode that tackled the myth of being able to tear a phonebook in half. And we found out that there is a trick to it. It’s not the easiest trick, it still took some man power, but I was able to get it, Ray and JM weren’t able to complete the feat.

They also did the myth that if you interlock two phonebooks page by page then it is impossible to tear them apart. It turned out that it wasn’t impossible but they had to hook the two interlocked phone books to tanks to pull them apart. It took 8,000 lbs of force to pull them apart.

All in all a pretty awesome episode.
