Mythbusters

[RobMerritt]

My favorite "reality" show. Just love tearing apart those myths. Especially the one about the cellphones blowing up gas stations.

I LOVE MYTHBUSTERS! I got my dad hooked on it too. I had to watch it a lot in science class for physics and substitutes... but I love it! They're so funny and entertaining, also smart. I love what they do, it's semi-educational too. You learn what to believe and whats true and not true. I love it!
My favorites:
-seeing if lightning is attracted to tongue piercings
-whether or not goldfish have a 3 second memory (which they don't)
-if music and voices help plants grow
Yep, great show! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Wow, I had no clue this show didn't have a thread yet. It is by far one of the best Discovery channel shows out there!

The rocket car in the Pilot was my absolute favorite. I was flipping channels way back then and saw them with a car in the middle of a desert with rockets mounted on top of it. That's all I needed to see to be hooked.

I missed that ep. What was their conclusion.

I love ths show. I usually watch it when I find it's on. I'm not sure what my favorite, but the exploding pant ep looked like it would've been incredible painful.

I love Mythbusters. My dad watches it too, but then, he's a scientist employed with the state of Florida.

One thing... They're not doing experiments, they're doing trials.

i think it was that... well I can't exactly remember. Umm, I think it had somethin to do with underwear... like that women had a higher chance to blow up a gas station because they get back into their car when its filling up and their underwear cause a static discharge. I dunno, that might've been a diferent episode.

New season of Mythbusters starts tonight.

Tonight's episode is "Knock your socks off" and "features the 500lb explosion that allegedly rocked a small northern California town" (the last according to Grant Imahara's Twitter).

I watched tonight's show and it looks like Kari's pregnant. I thought tonight's gun myth was kinda boring but I liked the "knock your socks off" stuff..

Kari *was* pregnant, now she is on maternity leave (although last night's show was filmed before she left). She gave birth to Stella Ruby on June 28.

And I enjoyed both myths. Yes, the gun myth lacked some of the pizazz of some of their other myths, but I have heard that myth for years and figured nobody, not even the Mythbusters, could do justice to actually trying it. I was happy to see I was wrong. I guess I shouldn't underestimate them in the future.

New episode on tonight:


Adam and Jamie try to discover whether you get better gas mileage with a dirty car or a clean car. Kari, Grant and Tory test old adages concerning beer, liquor and hangovers.

Episode description aken from http://www.tvrage.com/MythBusters/episodes/1064861773

beer liquor and hangovers should be fun.....dirty vs clean.....a clean car weighs less and has less drag.

Hey Corfy......Just south of you in Evansville.

Tonight's episode was all about duct tape. When I first saw the description, all I could think of was "MacGyver anyone?"
