Mythbusters are my favorite show.
*Adam Savage* "I reject the reality and substitute my own."
I love it! :D :D :D

Anyways share your thoughts.

To those of you who don't know mythbusters:

The red headed chick is adorable.

I love "Mythbusters," too! The only thing is though, in Finland its all reruns, and I already saw them all in the states.... *grumble grumble*

Eat chicken, heathen fundie hijackers! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

KA-BOOM!

The red headed chick is adorable.
Yeah Kari.... cutie:D

KA-BOOM!
AAARGH!!! DAMAGE REPORT, DAMAGE REPORT!!!

AAARGH!!! DAMAGE REPORT, DAMAGE REPORT!!!
Fundie Pilot One: "Durka durka, Allah! Allah!"
Fundie Pilot Two: "Calm down, its only a chicken wound!"
Fundie Pilot One: *screaming in agony*
Fundie Pilot Two: "Well, other than the shards of glass the size of my hand sticking out of your chest, throat, arms...."

Thus, giving time for the Sky-Marshal to finish up the first class movie, his glass of wine, and take over flying the plane after dispatching the Fundie Pilots One and Two.

AAARGH!!! DAMAGE REPORT, DAMAGE REPORT!!!

*James Doohan imitation* "Captain, we've lost all propulsion, and our shields are down!"

I feel sorry for Buster. Poor old Buster.

Yeah Kari.... cutie:D

Hell yeah. I love her smile.

(both the horizontal and the vertical...)

Yeah Kari.... cutie:D
She will be mine.

Or, you know...continue to be completely unaware of my existance as I watch her on the tv get giddy when things explode or get destroyed.

One or the other...

I feel sorry for Buster. Poor old Buster.
He should have known what he was going in to...

He should have known what he was going in to...

He needs a stronger workplace health & safety rep. Whoever's doing the job at the moment is letting him down badly.

Hmm this show is on the Discovery Channel? Looks cool.. I wonder if we get it here in NZ

Hell yeah. I love her smile.

(both the horizontal and the vertical...)

When do you get to see the vertical?

Hmm this show is on the Discovery Channel? Looks cool.. I wonder if we get it here in NZ
Don't they broadcast worldwide?

I think the show was better in the simpler days, without a half dozen supporting castmembers.. much more to the point. Not that the redhead isn't attractive, and I guess I don't really have anything against the chinese guy, but there's just too much clutter now.. it was a better formula when they would just visit some expert on the topic at hand, and then go back and try out the experiment based on the advice they got..

Don't they broadcast worldwide?
Yea we get it here. So I suppose we get Mythbusters too. I better check the TV guide.

When do you get to see the vertical?

In my dreams...

You gotta admit, she has a great ass.

Yeah, that's why I was curious.

Saturday 4:30 PM

I didnt even realise that Mythbusters was on in NZ! :headbang:
Must make a mental note for future references

Yeah, that's why I was curious.

I wonder if Maxim or Stuff has made an offer? We should conduct a write-in campaign to see if they'll do it.

Yeah Kari.... cutie:D
Finally, I find out I'm not the only one that thinks so. http://saturn5.com/darwin/beef/images/kari/06-kari_byron_shark_bikini_radio_belly_800x600.jpg

Mmmm nice bikini.....:D

Mythbusters is definatly my favourite TV show at the moment

In Aus, the most recent episode was the Life raft parachute: It is episodes like that when you realise how screwed over buster is :P

Awwww....I bet she's getting giddy at something about to be destroyed....

The red headed chick is adorable.

My thoughts, too. I watch this show fairly often and I like it.

Any show that orchestrates and executes the violent explosion of a cement mixer has the full endorsement of Megaloria.

It is my second favorite show. ;) check my sig, that has been there for about 2 months or something.


My favorite myth was when they trying to bust the myth that if you are getting shot at you should jump into water. I think they got up to like a 50 cal. and it still didn't get through the bullistics guy.

You only watch one episode?

There was also the pancake car, decapitation by kleenex box,Civil War rocket, super sling shot, car pole-vaulter, and more.

super sling shot,
that was hilarious, did you see when the bowling ball almost took of Jamie's head?:D

The red headed chick is adorable.

Hell yes :)

You think she's banging any of the cast members?

I don't know about most people on here, but I find almost all of their experiments highly unscientific.

I am talking about the one where they launched the dummies. Also, baby in a swing set.

oh yeah that one........I was talking about the one where they tied big elastic bands to a foot ball goal post and tried to launch a bowling ball, and it didn't come out of the basket thingy and the thing shot back at them.......



I don't know about most people on here, but I find almost all of their experiments highly unscientific.
they start out pretty good, but when things don't go well, then they just add to them (unrealistic conditions) until it does what they want it to.

it's not really all about science anyway, as much as it is blowing stuff up.

although, I understand where you are coming from, because I had serious problems with thier "control" toothbrush in the toothbrush myth they did.

I liked the one where the built a cannon out of a log and it exploded.

I thought they did with the black powder rifle

(I missed part of the show that day but when they recapped at the end it sounded like the low velocity projectiles did better)

Or dangerous. They seem to have little real knowledge of what firearms WILL do, and seem fairly reckless to me.

Which is why I watch saftly from my living room, not participate
(and I find their disregard for explosives sometimes worse then firearms)

Still fun to watch though

i love the show. But they do seem to underestimate the power of some of the items that they use.

Mythbusters rules the falling lift one was good and that exploding gobstopper one was great.

Did you see the one where they tried to plug up a shotgun blast with a finger?

yeah, my mom hates that I let my kids watch it, but they fully understand that Adam and Jamie are stupid enough to do the stuff that we want to, but are too smart to try. This way we get to see what happens without actually having to do it. :D

I love Adam Savage he is hilarious. I have been a huge fan since it started airing here in Canada. :) I loved the episode where they went to the police station and got drunk to test the breathalyzer test. :p
"I Object Your Reality and Substitute My Own." - Savage :p

Yeah, "The officer says to have another drink."

Or dangerous. They seem to have little real knowledge of what firearms WILL do, and seem fairly reckless to me.


In reference to this and a criticism of their being unscientific:

It is a show intended primarily to entertain, to be funny and interesting.
The hosts arent survivalists or gun nuts or self-important curmudgeons of any stripe.

Yeah, "The officer says to have another drink."
the funny thing is my dad actualy went to the local police department to get drunk about 5 years ago or so lol

We have family that works there (our 'in') and they get groups of people and get them drunk then have new and experienced police officers do road side tests periodicaly throughout the process

It was intresting lol I wish I was old enough to drink at that time lol

They're special effects technicians. The 7-Up machine that fired 7-Ups was Jamies and both Jamie and Adam are the special effects team for the up-coming Darwin Awards movie. Worked with some people who worked on that, said they where cool. (Lamest stretch for the lamest name drop ever...I met some people who met some people...ugh...oh well...)

The best looking girl is that one girl that looks like Scotty, yet she has alot more tattoos, a nose ring and always wears the white tank top without a bra.

I wonder if Maxim or Stuff has made an offer? We should conduct a write-in campaign to see if they'll do it.

I love your idea, but would she do it though?

Come on now, we all know that the decomposing pig corpses in the Corvette was the best myth.

I don't know, I kinda liked when they buried pigs in cement to see if they would leave a cavity in the ground when they decomposed.

While that was funny, nothing, nothing tops the reaction Adam and Jamie had when they entered the Corvette.

Neither. The Giant Immigrant Slingshot r0><0r5 my 50><0r5

I'm gonna have to go with exploding Jawbreaker or the myth that a compact car would 'disappear' when two semis collided with it in the middle.

Man, that compact got OWNED.

This seemed well timed:

MythBusters Team Struck Down By Zeus

November 30, 2005 | Issue 41•48

SAN FRANCISCO—MythBusters hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, who dared challenge the sacred explanations of the order of the universe, were destroyed by Zeus Monday. "I soared ascending to the ethereal sky, and by merest nod massed a fearsome storm, and with mine lightnings struck down the naysayers Adam and Jamie," Zeus said in a press conference called to warn all doubters of his thunderous might. The MythBusters producers have issued a statement apologizing to the entire Olympian community and declared that, from now on, the program will focus only on myths unrelated to the Greek, Egyptian, or Norse pantheons.

My fave was the shark week episode.

Especially since no 2 people pronounce it the same way.

It's not supposed to be used in conversation! It's an internet thingie!

Using leetspeek for dramatic effect on the internet is one thing, using it in normal conversation in real life is something else.

Well, does it count if you hear it verbalized over an XBox communicator?
