    @Paekakboyz even some of the more 'boring' stuff they did was funny...like trying to prove if crossing your legs enabled you to hold on form taking a pee longer or Walking through a field with a blind fold!

    So much great stuff

    One that sticks in my mind is they dispelled the theory using a cellphone while pumping gas can start a fire. Never happened no matter how many things they tried.

    So taking calls on the forecourt is okay then? (Not that I would)

    Yeah no sparks nothing, think they worked out fires would start from static electricity. Ie people getting in and out of their car, rubbing their asses on the car seat.

    It's probably happened in a freak occurrence, just like spontanious human combustion.....or is that another myth ?

    Something I found amusing coming across Central Asia, and the Western provinces of China... they refused to fill up a motorcycle tank from the pump.
    It was considered "safer" - to fill some other canister, carry that across the forecourt to the bikes, and then pour that into the tank.

    @raznomore yeah Jessi Combs died trying to beat her own land speed record. She hadn't been on for a while but had mad skills too.

    Adam is being accused by his sister! for stuff (apparently) done while they were like 8-9 years old or something. She's estranged from the family so who knows how that might pan out. Hopefully not true though!

    Jessi Combs died a couple years ago, she filled in I think when Kari was away on maternity leave.
    Died in a car crash ( she was a race car driver)

    Wow, embarrassingly enough I thought he died years ago.

    He did some pretty cool stuff before Fleetwood Mac became soft rock bores.

    He was one the few white blues guys who seemed genuine alongside other late greats like SRV, Johnny Winter and Alvin Lee ( but not Eric Clapton )

    @Tim said in R.I.P. 2020:

    Very cool in Enter the Dragon alongside Bruce. Also played a good baddie in Joe Kidd opposite Clint.

    I love this particular scene.......

    Denise Johnson, who sang with a bunch of groups back in the 90s has died at only 53. Her voice seemed to be on pretty much everything out of Manchester back then.

    Another who I thought died years ago.....

    Cocoon is a good flick and the Thing is absolutely outstanding.

    Wilford Brimley, the actor with the walrus mustache whose down-home geniality seen in such films as 'Cocoon,' 'The Natural' and 'Absence of Malice' endeared him to moviegoers, has died. He was 85.

    Shit, the dude looked like he was 80 back in the early 90s in The Firm.

    Yeah I think he got to the age of 80 in his 40s and stayed there
