http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/my ... 3QD;_ylv=3 Huge a** link.
Quote:
The cantaloupe-sized cannonball missed the water, tore through a cinder-block wall, skipped off a hillside and flew some 700 yards east, right into the Tassajara Creek neighborhood, where children were returning home from school at 4:15 p.m., authorities said.
There, the 6-inch projectile bounced in front of a home on quiet Cassata Place, ripped through the front door, raced up the stairs and blasted through a bedroom, where a man, woman and child slept through it all - only awakening because of plaster dust.
It exited the house, leaving a perfectly round hole in the stucco, crossed six-lane Tassajara Road, took out several tiles from the roof of a home on Bellevue Circle and finally slammed into the Gill family's beige Toyota Sienna minivan in a driveway on Springvale Drive.

Such a tragedy.
How could someone not wake up while this was happening?

Ok, so... there was an accident with their cannon, no one was hurt, and the producer has already met with the victims and the Mythbuster's insurance has arranged to pay for the damages.

... what else? Is that all? How is this even news? Are people really so bored?

I find the idea of a cantaloupe blasting through my house very interesting blue

What do you mean "such a tragedy"?
No-one got hurt and legally the issues are dealt with.

Wait really
That is a
Strange comparison
Like
There are lots of things that are roughly the size of a cantaloupe
And it makes more sense to compare the hole to them instead of a cantaloupe re: most people are not knowledgeable about cantaloupes
