This week we are dredging up another fondly remembered DIY disaster from the internet repository that is the Something Awful forums. An ambitious Goon innocently posts asking for help on his zipline project, it's already built he says. What he will find is, in his own words, "something ugly." Join us as we break down exactly how an internet forum collectively ended up explaining the physics of children traveling 65 mph with no brakes.
