I hate these threads. This Keystone of Mythbusters and other important works died of a brain aneurysm at age 49. In particular I hate early check outs, with so much potential to enlighten and enliven lost.
That is really sad news. I'm sure there are many of us here who really enjoyed his contributions to Mythbusting.
Sad to hear. It was a great show and he was an estimable contributor. We could use more of these rare shows that show it's possible to both entertain and enlighten.
He was also the creative genius behind the animated robot sidekick Geoff Peterson on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
