Sounds like a job for Myth Busters


Buster isn't equipped for that sort of test; they'd have to go to pig
parts again (remember the cola-pop rocks ep?).

Oh yea, I remember.
They don't always "recreate" accurately either. The other nite saw them
testing the "thawed vs frozen chickens" thing. Thru an airplanes windscreen
it may have been OK, but there would be (I think) a considerable difference
in a jet engine test just from the frozen bird being solid.
I have heard the "Myth" as the jet engine not a windscreen. That test may
have been cost prohibitive.
I still find them entertaining and thats probably their main goal.
