I don't know about you guys
But I'm having a wonderful time playing Mythbusters with this week's QOTW. Every time a question like this one pops up, I find the various science and pyromania related lies quite entertaining.

You can never just say I look nice, can you?
Ah come on guys, if we have to accompany each tale of dering-do with scientifically and historically proven evidence, its just going to ruin the fun. I can barely recollect what happened to me last week accurately, let alone what happened when I was 12.

Though I think you might be onto something with the schoolboy dynamite/IRA one above ;)

Hey dude
It is every QOTWer's perogative to introduce hyperbole and to massively embroider their entries. Why, only the other day, I was teasing a shrew and it almost gnawed me to death when I was sleeping. My lesson was learnt, see?

A shrew...pffft
I think you'll find it was a vole - EVERYONE knows shrews don't attack unless cornered.
