Gene got in the act out at Mythbusters, helping do some work on the duct tape airplane. Note that we are in the parking lot, and the motor is running.

Look carefully, and you can see what the airplane looked like when they truly finished covering it.
From the Mythbuster website:
I will have many new high resolution pictures of the entire duct tape airplane production, including great closeups of the MythBuster trio. I will post them on October 20.

Exactly two weeks to go.
Discovery Channel put out a press release on their upcoming myths. It's been reprinted in a few places around the web, for instance, on Entertainment Weekly and on Monsters and Critics (dot com):
In the press release, Discovery Channel talked about a whole bunch of myths, but they said this about the one myth that Belite helped with:
"Can you use duct tape to fix a plane that has been mauled by a bear? (As odd as this one sounds, it’s a story that has inundated our fan site message boards for years!)"
It's gonna be big. BIG.
