LOL, i know this might be a bit lame, but if you constantly start it over and over again, just before he says "country" the "Did you know that in..." sounds like japanese or something :P

Hammond's a brave little man. I sure as hell wouldn't say "Oh yeah, put me in a tin can car and zorch me with lightning, see how it goes!"

Wish they'd had a heart rate monitor on him, just to see how his ticker was jackhammering!

1.5A fries you :p

0.003A (3mA) is lethal already.
