    Mythbusters

    So, who's a fan?

    I've liked Mythbusters for quite awhile (along with a bunch of other Discovery Channel shows) and just saw the knew Alaska episode. Sinking the truck was quite interesting. And now we know that cabin fever is indeed possible....:P

    Great show. The new episode with them in alaska was great. I loved the cabin fever myth. Adam and Jamie are some funny charaters.

    I love this show. It and KP are two of my favorites.

    I, probably like many others, come for the science and stay for the explosions. :P I particularly like the experiment they did testing the effect of water on bullet stopping power. You scoff at that action movie-trick for years, but then realize, "Hey, they were right!"

    Ever since I saw that episode I've still been amazed that water can stop even the highest powered bullets. I can't really get that through my head. It's just cool!

    Adam and Jamie are great, and so are the others on the show. Their personality brings a lot to solving the myths, and is a large part of why I watch, in addition to the cool science and explosions.

    I think the first episode I saw was when Adam was testing the myth about ways to get out of a sinking car. It was really informative, actually.

    I love "Mythbusters," too.
    One of my favorite episodes (out of many! ) is the one where they debunked the superhero myths.

    I say I love all the bits (and there are quite a few) on mentos and diet coke.

    Quite a good show, nothing else much to say (At least until my memory stops acting up ). Though, I'd have to say that probably my favorite time on the show was when they were flipping cars and buses over with the engines of a 747 . . . I think.

    You're absolutely right; they did flip a car over with the jet blast from a 747 - also a school bus, and a light plane too.
    :P

    I thought that was a Brainiac episode. Wasn't MB's attempt abortive because they didn't have the right engine?
