Kari Byron : Ni-ban

Yes, the first sequel! As you no doubt noticed on the list on the right that Kari is in first place "by views." That only gives you a small part of the picture. Notice that second place is (as I type this) is Cheryl Tiegs. Kari beating out Cheryl is worthy news in it's self but the real news is that she is beating her by over 1,000 and the lead is growing. This tells me two things. Many people like Kari and two, many people are really into Mythbusting or Headrushing. Hence, I give you the first sequel, Kari Byron.

Personal Quotes

• Remarking on the topless Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia: "This must be where the beautiful people go."
• A visit with a Balinese girl and her family "left me with an uneasiness I couldn't cure. I felt guilty and sad - Komang's family lived in a two-room shack with no doors - because I have a full stomach in every sense. Lesson learned. Life appreciated in a new way."
• I have grown quite fond of firearms. I have always been an anti-gun liberal, but the rush you get from an M134D Gatling gun with 30 caliber bullets firing at 3,000 rounds per minute is unbelievable. (Source: Geek Monthly, January 2008, p. 35)
• [at conclusion of Mythbusters "Do pretty girls fart?" experiment]: Can I take the microphone out of my butt now?
