Mythbusters2
Last night i watched Mythbusters again and this episode answered a question that has been on my mind for a long time simply it's why dont you just open the door if you drive into the water i thought it was so easy to do however it's not when you drive into the water and begin sinking the pressure just 2 feet underwater is so strong its almost impossible to open the door until the pressure equalizes wen the water totally fills up inside the car and equals the pressure outside the door wont budge similiar is that to the window you cant even budge the window because it has almost 300 pounds of pressure pushing on it from the outside (thats just 2 feet under) now they did try many other ways for example opening the door right away worked or opening the door by the time water got to window but the most intresting was he waited until the pressure equalized and just stayed calm not using any energy and taking deep breaths when the pressure equalized he was able to open the door and swim back up 13 ft. so they proved that u cant open the door under water until pressure equalizes the second myth they busted was you cant fold a piece of paper more than 7 times doing it by halfs and at first they couldnt do it with normal 8.5 by 11 office paper do to something called exponential growth wen u fold it 7 times the paper becomes 128 layers thick making it to thick to fold once they used thinner tracing paper they were able to bust the myth and fold it over 12 times by the way my other favioret show top chef just had its 1st of a 2 part finale and they eliminated probably the best chef named sam and kept the guy who everone hates i think that it was wrong and hopefully that guy loses to ilan the other finalist

Paul, do you remember what I said in class about using standard American English in your blog postings? Did you realize that this post is one very long and gramatically horrifying sentence? Did you notice that, with the exception of the first letter and a single proper noun, it has no captial letters, or that you used the letter u in place of the word you? This is the last post I will accept in this format. You're watching a very interesting program, so I would hate to not be able to give you credit for your postings.
Also, can you push things just a little bit further? What is the importance of this show?
