‘Who ate my pie?’ David Byrne plays boorish, mustachioed, pie-loving drunk on PBS sitcom

The algorithms needed to accomplish this first began to produce aesthetically pleasing results in the early 1990s. The techniques that Stewart and her colleagues examine in their article take this idea much further. The article is relatively brief, at just three pages including references. The Was.

When Mythbusters first aired 13 years ago (on the Discovery Channel, of all networks), no one—including the show’s hosts, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman—knew just how successful or special it would be.

And throughout the program’s TV tenure, it would accomplish a feat many a high school biology and chemistry teacher had thought impossible for centuries: making science appear cool to a youthful audience. Recently, the world said goodbye for good to Adam, Jamie and the rest of the Mythbusters crew, so to pay our respects, here are the 8 best Mythbusters episodes of all time: Brown Note (Episode 25) This episode first aired on February 16, 2005, and featured three fascinating and completely unrelated myths: Is “Chinese water torture” really torturous?

, Katy Perry plays a huge number of apparently comic characters — including, uh-oh, “Yosef Shulem,” a Jewish bar mitzvah entertainer. The Shulem character is Perry in a cheap-looking suit, facial prosthetics, a kinky black wig, thick fake mustache and eyebrows, and a yarmulke. “He,” in a thick accent, tells a joke about rabbis and circumcision.
