Continuity mistake: When Pastor Randy hands Paul a glass of iced tea, the lemon slice falls off the glass to the ground, but in the next shot we see Paul drinking, the lemon slice is back on the glass. (00:24:40)
Daniel Lugo: My name is Daniel Lugo, and I believe in fitness. All this began because it was time to push myself harder, otherwise I was looking at another forty years wearing sweatpants to work.

Correction: The mythbusters episode in question demonstrated that bullets fired at high velocity did come apart upon impacting the water surface. Bullets fired at low muzzle velocity not only broke the water surface, but penetrated the ballistics gel.
