Who watches mythbusters?

[Colaalone]

I hate television

HOW!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!

[duday53]

i liked the confederate rocket episode, the deadly lava lamp one, and the ceiling fan of death too.

[war_bloodline]

Oh, I love the lava lamp.

[duday53]

i really didnt think the results would get that good eventually...and i missed one: the portable toilet one(i forget what they are called ) where they see if your crap has enough methane to make a portable toilet blow up

C'mon guys...if your going to explain the show to those that have never seen it, stick to the classics...the exploding toilet!

Here in the US there is an urban legend about a man who blew himself up whilst taking a dump. His wife supposedly had just cleaned the toilet bowl with several flammable fluids and the man sits down to do his business, lights a smoke and drops the match between his legs. BOOM the toilet explodes catching his ass on fire, etc. There are many variations, some having him catapulted through the roof.

They picked up a toilet and encased it in a plexiglass box the size of a bathroom, and proceeded to attempt to blow it up with many different chemicals and a crash-test dummy. They couldn't do it, even with gasoline, etc. Myth Busted...it couldn't have happened.

Others:

Eelskin wallets de-magnetize your credit cards - Busted
Woman impregnated by bullet after husband is shot through the nads: Busted
You can be electrocuted by peeing on traintracks "third rail" or electric fence - Busted
The ultimate murder weapon...bullets made of ice - Busted


This is the kind of thing they do on the show...very entertaining.

I saw a pretty dumb episode a few weeks back, where they tried to prove or disprove the urban legend that a piece of straw caught in a hurricane-force wind could slice clean through a palm tree or coconut tree, cutting it in half.

It was busted, but it was also intensely boring.

Other than that, the eps I've seen have been pretty entertaining.

That one was awesome! Especially the part where they shot the piano string. That cracked me up.

They also tried to prove that plants had feelings. They called it busted, but they didn't look into it deep enough.

[pancakemix]

There's no GFY either...

One of the cases on "The Practice" was about a Japanese guy stopping at a gas station and asking to go to to a bathroom he was not allowed in because it was being cleaned or something. Anyway he lit a match and threw it in the toilet. Kaboom! His lawyer's case in court was that thwe gas station was neglegent to put flammable chemicals in a toilet that was off-limits. It was hilarious.

I like the episode about busting various movie myths. It turns out that you can jump off a building through awnings and survive, you cannot shoot a lock off, and you cannot shoot at the floor with a machine gun in a circle and fall through.

[Wisse]

For example, you know in the cartoons where bugs bunny sticks his finger in elmer fudds gun and the gun blows up but his finger is fine? that was a busted myth, it isnt possible for that to happen

yup that was an awsome one, the whole hand did blow off (dummie hand)
