Hey, back to the bulldog...have you seen the commercial where the bulldog is riding a skateboard through the house?  It's hilarious!

Just because he's a bulldog doesn't mean he gets special privileges in my house, I'm tellin' ya.

That's great!  Thanks for sharing the site!  If you see the commercial, you'll love it!  He's skateboarding in the house on their wood floors!  It's a riot.

It's just what sprung into my head!  I could just hear Marvin the Depressed Robot (from Hitchhiker's Guide) saying that at that point.

I'd rather watch 'Mythbusters'.

It occured to me after watching the show that they should have done the snowplow myth on a slick surface.

Haven't seen the snowplow episode yet.  Sounds interesting.

They tried to debunk the myth that a snowplow traveling on a freeway would cause enough turbulence in front of the plow to disturb or even flip oncoming vehicles.
I personally think the lack of traction on snowy roads would be a major contributing factor.
You would not get this testing on an abandoned air strip in Southern California.

LOL!  They should have gone to Alaska to test that one!  I think maybe on a 2-lane road, with a foot of snow, it may be plausible for a snowplow to flip an oncoming car.  Depends on the car/vehicle and the road condition, like you said.

Alaska?  Nah.  Minnesota in March.  ::) :D
