I'll huff and I'll puff...


An interesting reproduction of Second World War German technology.

A few points: The presenter should learn to speak properly, get himself a jacket and tie, and not be so ludicrously demonstrative. Second, the music should be expunged and the composer lightly shot. And third, I would expect a house of bricks to involve mortar.

Good Lord, what childish rubbish. How the BBC has slid downhill.

A BBC "Science" reporter who has clearly never heard of "Foundations" in building. Rather like a builder I know...

Well, to be fair to him, the builders of the original aforementioned houses of straw/sticks/bricks were pigs. Say what you will, but I don't think pigs are known for their architectural or structural engineering knowledge.

That was quite interesting, I thought. Obviously trying (and failing) to follow the success of Mythbusters (which is an excellent program), but it's an alright effort nonetheless.
