Mythbusters is good for entertainment...
But I agree with overlord, Brainiacs is much better.

brainiacs is OK but they fake some of their stuff for TV. The whole bit about certain elements in water for example, the expolsions were "supplemented" with TNT. On Mythbusters f an experient fails they let it fail in good faith.
THEN they bring in the C4 and blow the snot out of it.

Can never remember their names, but I do know that the "younger" one, the one who doesn't wear the beret, was the stockboy in the "Don't Squeeze the Charmin" commercials of old.
No joke.

I've seen a bunch of them.
Not all, but most.
Check out the episode guide.

The chicken gun is the BEST episode! ...and the episode where they test plant growth on music, noise and yelling and stuff. They found that "any" attention, whether cursing or Mozart will help plant growth.

The cemite truck/ dynamite myth was the best... can you get dried cement off the walls of a cement mixer with a 1/2 stick of Dynamite (No.)
With two sticks of dynamite (Sorta, if the layer isn't too thick.)
With 200 pounds of C4, Noone knows because there will be no truck left.

That show is pretty cool. I was thinking about submitting some climbing myths/ urban legends to be re-examined and see if they come up with similar data to the climbing communities general consensus.
Any ideas come to mind?

yea.. but you can't hurt a plants feelings by flipping out on it.. although it looked very therapeutic for Tory and Kari.
tv.yahoo.com used to be the best place to keep track of new shows since it told you the original air date.. but today it looks like they changed around the page and it wont load the listing for me :(

I have discussed it with the powers that be of the show, and have come up with a not enough potential situation for most of the myths I could come up with. I've got an inside line if you have any good ideas, I would be willing to pass them on.
