The 5 Most Amazing Real Life MacGyver Moments
|
Were MacGyver real, the world would be a safer place. And not just for people with mullets. Of course, you'd think that MacGyver's almost supernatural resourcefulness has about as much place in the real world as a guy who shoots spider webs out of his wrists. You'd be wrong. Apparently, people with preternatural resourcefulness exist in real life. Here are five that would have made the bemulleted-one himself beam with the pride of a makeshift heart made out of Popsicle sticks, a timing belt and gum. #5.
A World War II Pilot Used Jell-O to Copy a Map
So it's World War II. You've been sent into a secret Axis meeting room to obtain top-secret maps of the enemy's troop movements. You can't steal the maps because that would raise suspicions and you can't write down the coordinates because you're retarded. Or you don't have a pencil. Whichever is easier for you to believe. All you've got is a wooden tray and a pocket full of Jell-O you snuck out of the mess tent. You don't know why you stole a handful of Jell-O, and you especially don't know why you stored it in your pocket, but there's no turning back now. You can hear guards moving in and you've only got a few minutes to get what you came for. What should you do other than have the most pathetic last meal of all time? According to the book, Colditz--The Definitive History: The Untold Story of World War II's Great Escapes, a group of British pilots in the Colditz prisoner camp were in that exact same situation. The boys gathered together some of the gelatin they had as rations, put the map face up on a wooden tray and poured the Jell-O (lemon-flavored) over them. They then took the Jell-O and pressed it on a sheet of clear greaseproof paper.
It worked. They were able to make 30 copies of the map and enjoyed a tasty meal of lemon-flavored Jell-O because the British were clever, smart and have no taste buds. Could MacGyver Have Done it Better?
According to MacGyver, a map "can get you in and out of places a lot of different ways" other than just getting yourself from point A to point B. As this video clearly shows, a map can help you unlock doors, distract women in burkas and beat an armed guard senseless:
If the video ran just a little bit longer, MacGyver also could have showed you how a map can help you break up with your pregnant girlfriend, pay off your student loans and establish a Palestinian state. So, yes, while the Jell-O thing was impressive, with 30 copies of a map we're thinking MacGyver could have ended the war. |

He's holding the top of the door and shaking it up and down. You can see in the shadow at one point. He let's go as he closes it at the end when he pans up to show you the top of the door. People are such tools.

Did anyone else think Kevin Bacon was hardcore implying that it was high time to vote someone off the LEM when he admited that a man, living in a space the size of my closet with two other people for days or weeks or whatever, somehow forgot to factor one of them into his equations? Like all of the sudden Tom Hanks was going to get really quite after sharing a look with Bacon before starting to edge behind Bill Paxton…

The only really MacGyvery thing I've done was use the foil-ripper thing from a box of tinfoil to cut a watermelon up at a picnic. We forgot the knife and nobody had their Leatherman on them that day.

Alcatraz was NOT closed because of a successful prison escape. It was closed because it was just too expensive to maintain (taking care of one prisoner there cost much more than any other prison in the US. In fact, more than three times more), so it was closed. It wasn't even the last escape attempt, either. It was second to last. December of 1962, John Paul Scott and Darl Parker managed to get out of prison. Parker made it to a nearby island called 'Little Alcatraz' and was rearrested immediately, while Scott managed to actually swim across the freezing waters and made to shore. He was suffering from hypothermia and was found by a pair of teenagers. This was the only time anyone ever managed to swim across.
