Yeah they are on SBS, monday night i think last time they were on at 7.30pm, they were proving if dropping a penny off a tall building could kill someone, i missed it, but its a great show.

The poppy seed episode was very eye opening, do not eat poppy seeds if you are ever drug tested

very funny! if you see a speed camera contractor setup, go and start taking photos of them, they're supposed to get quite worried :

i may know some one involved in the number plate issue . is why thay have cameras on the exterior of the vans in canberra now. my self and a mate were known to follow the vans around and hold out signs warning ppl of the greed machine ahead. was all good and well till we had an altacation with a camera operator. shortly after that we had some serious police harrasment . my mate coping the brunt of it being bashed by 3 cops. but it wont stop us

If the EB was going I'd be in it for sure.

I know every speed camera in the western suburbs, they'd end up with 100 tickets not 17. :

Now who's going to distract the cops? :

This also reminds me of that other classic story of a bunch of youths that covered up their number plate and drove through a red light camera about a dozen times. The only thing they forgot to cover was the for sale sign on the rear window, complete with phone number leading the cops straight to their door.

Cheers, Danny
