Q: Did the "MythBusters" guys really survive on a deserted island with nothing but duct tape, or was it faked for the cameras? Most of their stuff is legit, but this one makes me wonder.

There is, in fact, no pervasive belief in our society that a person can survive on a deserted island as long as they have an unlimited supply of duct tape. That was not a myth that needed busting.

Late Laughs for the week of March 7 - 13, 2021
A Little Late with Lilly Singh
Do you even remember what life was like before COVID? Because I'm not sure that I do. I just remember that in the before times, humans used to be upright creatures that went outside and now we're horizontal and live on couches.
We finally have a vaccine … although roll-out hasn't been the fastest. Who's distributing these things? George R.R. Martin?
I just have a feeling that Bruce Wayne is somewhere in Gotham fighting off a new strain of COVID with his bare hands.
