That diagram was the best part of the entire story. (Besides the fact that the poor Shetty's must've thought they were filming a new version of Gunga Din.) Rube Goldberg would've been PROUD of that cannonball, hopping and skipping all over the place, through this and up that, finally ending up in a minivan. Such a mundane ending, though, for a cannonball. A minivan.
So I guess they busted the myth that they actually know what they're doing.
Ya can't make this stuff up.
p.s. Watts is probably busy blowing something up.
