Signal08 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I didnt take the time to see if anyone has posted about this before. But I stumbled across this show during my 2 month bed ridden stage... Mythbusters on the discovery channel. they take any... and I mean any myth and try to prove it or bust it. They went as far as rigging machines to see if you can in fact catch a bullet with your teeth or hand and it was surely busted. But they test old myths too, like the death ray or if a tissue box can kill you in a crash when it flies at you at 60 mph ect... just a group of mad scientists... and its alot of fun to watch. anyone else seen it?

Silent Bob Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Jess loves that show. Whenever she finds it on she stops what she's doing to watch it, it's cute. I gotta admit it's a cool show. The one with the tissue box was awesome. Particularly when they tried it with a bowling ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 this show is brilliant, ive series one and two of it on my pc and im totally addicted to watching it, my favorite one probably being the cell phone gas explosion and the lengths they go to in order to see if they blow anything up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 is it anything like Bullshit, or whatever that Penn & Teller one's called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Penn and Teller's Bullshit, on showtime, deals with debunking all the corrupted social issues and bullshit out there that everyone takes for granted, like the myth of recycling and the joke that is the dangers of second-hand smoke... and they're really bitter, offensive, and funny about what they find. Mythbusters is two guys, one's an engineer from MIT and the other is a Hollywood Special Effects engineer, that take urban ledgends and myths that contain physical components and try to simulate the actual conditions of the myth to see if it is physically possible, such as "can jumping in a lake save you from a hail of bullets" or "what really happens when you attach a JATO rocket to your car." sigh, I miss cable.

Signal08 Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 The one with the tissue box was awesome. Particularly when they tried it with a bowling ball. Yea, loved the planning for that.

Lycaon Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Good show. I seem to remember an episode about ice and "meat bullets." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signal08 Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 dunno about meat bullets, but liked the one where they did everything they could to catch a bullet... all the bullet would do is shatter/crush no matter the means they used to try to catch it.
