FROM THE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME CATEGORY:
From the Mini Myth Mayhem episode, the Mythbusters gang re-create the infamous scene from "Arena" to see if the cannon Kirk used would really work.

...Star Trek ...it had Warp drive...Transporters... even brains transplanting ...
And you go after a bamboo cannon as the Star Trek Myth to bust?
Much simpler solution. They had communicators, right? Just start singing MUSKRAT LOVE over and over again. The gorn stabs himself. Yes, to win using your wits is good, but to win using The Capain and Tennille is perfect. Them other aliens that set this fight up would’ve run off screaming. Not that there was anything wrong with Tony Tennille though.
I had a good friend who sang in the Auburn University choir with Toni Tennille.
we just watched the episode where spock’s brain was stolen and then reimplanted by mccoy. Mccoy starts to falter, but luckily, Spock’s vocal chords are hooked up and so he is able to guide mccoy. The assistance he gives is priceless, as if there are only four nerve attachments that contol all the movement in the arm, wrist, and fingers.
You know, if she sang that song to me, I would have to give her a standing ovation just for being so pretty. Everyone else, I’d hit em with a rake.
All McCoy had to do was "fine tune" things.
But yes, the cranial nerves should have been completed, along with the motor neurons.
Except for some reason NOT distal nerves. I.e. "my right finger...excellent".
This is one episode that was IMHO ridiculous. Even in 1968, doctors knew anatomy.
They didn't need "the teacher" to tell them that.
Metrons is now my official term for obnoxious Mets fans.

Come on! It’s a lizard wearing a dress! Propose to her and give her one of the diamonds. Once they beam you off the planet, tell her you’re a homosexual and give Sulu a hug. Once the gorn is gone, go find those green babes. There’s the final frontier.
Alright, I’ll give you that.... Muskrat Love will do in just about any disgusting, reptilian alien. However, nobody can beat Slim Whitman’s “Una Paloma Blanca” for sheer alien-destroying power. Look what it did to the Martians. I rest my case.
When Slim hits that high note, you can see the flying saucers shift into overdrive to get away.
Actually the song that did in the Martians was “Indian Love Call.” But I’m sure “Una Paloma” would have been just as devastating.

Thank you
That would always be my response. Yes Kirk pulled that off- because he’s Kirk! Mythbusters cannot do what Kirk does, even in their dreams....
