| obama to appear on mythbusters
Mr Obama's appearance on the Discovery Channel programme is part of a White House effort to highlight the importance of science, maths and engineering as experts warn that low interest in these subjects among U.S. students could hurt the economy.
It is one of several non-traditional appearances by the president, who joined an MTV "town hall" meeting last week and was interviewed on the daytime talk show The View in July.
Questions tackled this year on Mythbusters include "What's worse, having an empty beer bottle smashed over your head or a full one?" and "Can a sniffer dog be thrown off the scent using household items?"
The Obama episode, to air on Dec 8, reprises an earlier debunking of the 2,000-year-old story that Greek mathematician and engineer Archimedes set fire to an invading Roman fleet using a system of mirrors to focus the sun's rays.
"I can announce today that I taped a special guest appearance for their show, although I didn't get to blow anything up," Mr Obama said at a White House science fair event. "I was a little frustrated with that."
The event kicked off a week-long fair on the National Mall in Washington http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...thbusters.html |

Maybe the empty one would break and slid down in a way that the glass would cut into your face and head after where the heavier full bottle would neutralize forces on impact

At least that is what I've been told... Its actually less painful to have the bottle break.. The only thing you gotta worry about then is the glass cutting you..
Either way it sucks..
