Many times we see a person with a gun doing some amazing things, but can the weapon really do what is being portrayed? Sadly, a lot of what we see is a load of wishful thinking and special effects. One bullet just can't blow up a car nor do some of the things we see on this list. Find out more below: Read more...

My Five Best Billy Mays Products
On June 28th 2009, we all suffered the loss of Billy Mays, who may be the greatest pitchman that has ever lived. Billy Mays died of heart failure at age 50. He was found unresponsive in his Tampa, FL home on the morning of June 28th, and was pronounced dead by a fire rescue crew.
Mays has been pitching products in commercials and infomercials for roughly 12 years. His high energy, booming voice and catch phrase "Hi, it's Billy Mays here with..." has made him famous promoting products like Orange Glo and Oxi-Clean countless other products. He was also featured on the reality TV show "Pitchmen" on the Discovery Channel, along with his business partner Anthony Sullivan.
"I hate to say it, but the king is dead," said Sullivan, his voice breaking into tears. "I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I’ll always remember his booming voice – him saying 'Billy Mays here.' He was the best friend a man could wish for – he was much more than people knew."
Here's a list of what I believe are five of the best Bille Mays products. They may or may not be the best selling product, but they're definitely my favorites.
