Working Daze follows the employees trapped at MacroMicroMedia. MMM is a wanna-be software giant, and it's staffed by geeks and clueless management types. VP Rita will try anything that might make a little money (though her ideas usually don't.) Underpaid Dana carries he place and keeps it running, while overpaid Ed sleeps all day. Roy and Kathy are made for each other, and everyman Jay never knows when to keep his opinions to himself. Writer/creator John Zakour is a humor/sci-fi writer, whose work includes the Zach Johnson detective novels. Artist Scott Roberts was a longtime contributor to Nickelodeon Magazine, and is the author of the fantasy novel The Troubling Stone. John and Scott met when they both worked on the Rugrats newspaper strip.

Were they playing around with a cannonball? Hope Sal’s still alive!

Sal will be fine. Take a closer look at the Sal-shaped hole in the wall. We can see where his hair, fingers and sleeves went thru…that wall must have Chinese drywayll.

Just cartoon drywall. There have been plenty of Dana shaped holes left when she was in a hurry to get a lot done.

That’s a tape ball. You just take lots of packing tape and… well, make a big ball. It’s guaranteed to be neither safe nor smart.

Something I’ve always wanted to know; how fast would a human have to move to leave a human-shaped hole in drywall, doors, walls, a la cartoon physics? Any physicists, engineers out there, please answer!

About 96% the speed of sound?

How many frames per second? Does this also include animal shaped holes? Because Bugs Bunny knew how.

Yeah that must have been some pretty weak drywall. Looks a lot worse than it is.

I should try that sometime at work,. However many of the programmers already have Nerf guns, so a tape ball may not be enough firepower!

I’m a regular over on the Mythbusters fansite, and this one pops up every now and then.

For all intents and purposes, it’s impossible to leave a perfect hole in anything. Bits and pieces will always tear loose under such an impact.

Generally speaking, you’re a lot more likely to just leave a yawning hole in whatever you hit… presuming of course that it gives before your body does.

@ghostkeeper – That sounds like a great question to ask the Mythbusters.
@Scott Roberts and John Zakour – I LOLed WAAAYY more at this than I should have. Thanks for making me laugh on a rainy, dreary, sticky rainy work day!!!

They actually bothered to do this on Mythbusters? I would have figured everyone knew it’s just a cartoon convention.

Packing tape? I’ve never tried that one. I was guessing it was a rubber band ball. What’s bad with those is if you lose or store it somewhere and find it a few years later. The rubber bands dry out and become hard and brittle like uncooked ramen noodles.

There’s an official fansite where people can submit myths to be tested.
[]
This link here – http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/cfrm/f/2991937776 – will take you right to it.
[]
In most instances, the individual posters will take myths under consideration and then handle them themselves, thereby educating the rest of the forum in the process.
[]
Not only does this create a ready pool of answers to questions, it also pares down the number of myths that actually get passed on to the MBs for testing so as to ensure that only those myths which are legitimate questions and curiosities make it through.
[]
It also provides people with a chance to recommend grounds for re-testing certain myths. In a few instances, the MBs have responded by re-testing myths based on these recommendations.

In the case of the “human-shaped hole”, this one tends to come up in the context of “people asking about 9/11 despite the forum rules prohibiting it”. You see, there are a lot of conspiracy theorists who try to argue that the Pentagon couldn’t have been hit by an aircraft because there wasn’t an aircraft-shaped hole in the side of the building. These people honestly expected to see a perfect hole shaped like a plane go through.
