did he end up properly replicating it?!

good ol` OCD. I have to assume he now possesses a perfect replica, or his head would have popped by now.

@neon neophyte

I doubt Adam has OCD. His obsession with objects and their history is totally different from people suffering OCD.

OCD sufferers do things repeatedly, like washing their hands or checking whether their front door is locked. Not just once or twice, but over and over and over again. They know it`s irrational to do this, but they can`t stop.

Mythbusters came to my hometown too...cheapest tickets were like $52. Fuck that!

Reviews pretty much confirmed it; cool show if you didn`t mind paying for it.
