Dix-Bag said:Mythbusters did it... The had this great big silicone arse and a suction toilet complete with pressure gauges and everything. At first they couldn't duplicate it because of the space between the seat and the basin provided airflow to prevent a seal.
Eventually, the made it work somehow (I don't remember details) and determined it to be "plausible, but not likely"
Gotta love that show.
The concept of that show is great. Unfortunately the execution is substandard purely due to the hosts. If they could just replace those two hosts, it could be a very entertaining show. Saddly, as is, I can't stomach more than about 5 minutes of it because of those two baffoons making really bad 'jokes' all the time. Sometimes when I'm really curious about the experiments I'll just keep the TV on mute and listen to music while I watch the demonstrations.
Reminds me of a great chemistry teacher I had once. He would always do these crazy experiments for us and was quite the showman in doing them. Frequently they involved fire/explosions/etc... which would keep even the most study-averse students riveted.
