Myth Busters

In one night's viewing they've taken on the Jet Plane on the Treadmill and The Poop Molecules on the toothbrush!

They rock.

my youngest son loves that show.

Cloud · 01-30-2008, 10:41 PM

yep. they're Mythic.

It's sad that they're running out of myths. They've been begging for audience suggestions pretty hard all season. Also, I don't know what the hell changed, but their intro dialogue has become horrifically stilted when it didn't used to be. I can't imagine that many people could suddenly lose all their acting skills at the same time, so I have to assume they used to actually improvise the setup explanations, and now they are being given a (badly-written) script to follow.

so...what about the poop molecules on the toothbrush? I must know.

BUSTED

Poop molecules don't get on a toothbrush?

lumberjim · 01-31-2008, 08:59 AM

they do, but they also got on the control toothbrushes that were kept away from the bathroom. poop molecules are everywhere, it would seem. so....eat shit, and die happy.

Clodfobble · 01-31-2008, 09:01 AM

They do... but they also get on everything else, everywhere, all the time. The same amount of e.coli bacteria was found on a toothbrush that came nowhere near the bathroom.

Edit: like LJ said. Eat shit and die happy.

Could it be the writers' strike? They used to have professional writers who produced scripts so smooth they seemed spontaneous, but now, scriptless, they really are ad libbing and so it seems stilted...

I've been telling you guys about that show!! I'm a myth-busters addict!!

Glad to see someone else geeking-out on it.

The myth I'd like to see explored is val kilmer's role in real genius when he sticks some sort of alloy in the coin slot of the soda machine....could it work?

If you don't remember this movie here's a link!

I'd like to see the giant popcorn popper trick though.....

Nah, that's only been going on since December, and this season of Mythbusters started in August.

Cicero · 01-31-2008, 12:46 PM

yea...I don't remember what that was......but it seemed like an awesome trick....It's funny how many illegal activities they try to replicate on that show...sometimes my jaw just drops.

I liked the mission impossible episode, that kicked ass! That was so awesome..
