Monday’s Guilty Pleasure: Mythbusters

December 6th, 2004

Filed under: General, TV

Mythbusters is a show on the Discovery Channel that proves or debunks various urban legends. Starring Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, two follicularly-challenged special effects gurus, each hour long episode tackles on one or more well known stories. Recent episodes have looked at eel-skin wallets, quicksand, and putting sugar in gastanks. While their experiements may sometimes lack a certain scientific rigour, the show is always fun to watch and I almost always end up learning something. Admittedly, it may be something relatively useless, like the torque of a ceiling fan motor, but still, I’ve learned something.

    Nothing to feel guilty about. I love that show.

    I still think that death ray might have worked if they had managed to focus it on a single point…maybe added a magnifying lens as well

    And plus, even when the episodes are boring, there’s always Kari…
