This show is an insight in to what would happen if The Sun were to sponsor CERN. Mythbusters has its silly moments, but Brainiac started at a moderately low point and kept digging. --ConcernedResident umbilical cord for the ladies 23:00, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

I actually once knew a person who thought that this crap is better than MythBusters. He's also gay, so it couldn't have been the boobies that caused this strange opinion. Vulpius (talk) 01:16, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Brainiac: Safety Abuse[edit]

So I was trying to look for the video where they blow up a caravan with liquid oxygen, since I remember the liquid that Dr Bunhead was pouring was clear, when those on the ball will know that liquid oxygen has a slight blue/green tint to it. I did manage to find some liquid nitrogen stuff and f**k me. The girl filling it is actually holding the feedline while it fills, this is a recipe for slow acting cold burns, you leave these things and stand back - especially since they have a tendency to spit at you as they fill up. Then they're handling the dewers without gloves, which is possible but definitely not recommended as the dewer tops can cool down pretty far when they're freshly filled. And then when they're pouring it they're just using simple marigold rubber gloves rather than leather gauntlets, which are going to do very little if someone trips and spills half a gallon onto your hand. Okay, so liquid nitrogen tends to evapourate faster than it can burn you so you can get away with this sort of thing but I'd expect actual standards from someone broadcasting to the public.

Found the caravan thing, it might be O2 but the video quality is a little low. It has a blue-ish tint to it as expected. ADK...I'll stink your Volkswagen! 11:21, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
