This story makes the cannon ball sound smarter than a cruise missile!

I think their premiums will be rising for the next series. :lol:

Anyhoo in a previous episode I remember them firing a cannonball down a runway in New York. It went many times further than they had expected, and I expect any claims on this current event to fully milk that 'precedent'.

To top it all off, ballistics isn't exactly difficult. :oops:

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

We will NOT be including the cannonball mishap in the episode. That just doesn't seem right to us. You know?
