    In the first episode MacGyver plugs a sulfuric acid leak with chocolate. He states that chocolate contains sucrose and glucose. The acid reacts with the sugars to form elemental carbon and a thick gummy residue.
    This was proved to be correct on Mythbusters.

    I think Burn Notice was like an updated McGyver, more about improvised explosives & no one ever got hurt.

    After reading wine makers' big trip thread I'm thinking he and his push may well be the Khazakstani version of Macguyver.

    Wonder if they got the series on the box over there?


    Edit:- Kazakhstani sorry wine maker

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I'm not buying a word of that...
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
