	I have caught it a couple of times. Their is a running inside joke
to look for. The joke is that he REALLY hates watermelons for some reason.
Every time they need a target they use a watermelon for it. I didn't catch
on until they had the segment with the crossbow and he makes the comment "My
old nemesis the watermelon." I really liked the gatling gun segment. They
got pretty in depth on the difference between Theoretical rate of fire
verses actual rate of fire and rate of accurate fire with a demonstration of
what they mean. Really good stuff.
