| This is a 5-minute video of MythBusters learning, and demonstrating, the Japanese art of "dorodungo" -- how to take real animal poo, and with a lot of work, make a high-gloss ball a few inches in diameter. In other words, they show how to "polish a turd". The political implications of this process, especially with regard to how the media spin-meisters treat recent administration screw-ups and related events, were inescapable... |

| YOLO COUNTY, Calif. -- A big explosion, in the name of science, scared a lot of people in a small California town. It all began with a test from by the crew of the TV show Mythbusters, but their test produced a bigger bank than they expected. "It was a boom that was just -- I had never heard anything like that before, it was really wired," Sherril Stephens told TV station KCRA. The explosion was so big, Stephens said it knocked her off the couch and broke her front window. Nearly the entire town of Esparto, Calif., poured into... |
Mythbusters Gagged: Credit Card Companies Kill Episode Exposing RFID Security Flaws

| Credit card companies successfully nixed a Mythbusters segment exposing RFID's security flaws, according to Arbiter of Truth and Mythbusters co-host, Adam Savage. Texas Instruments comes on along with chief legal counsel for American Express, Visa, Discover, and everybody else... They were way, way outgunned and they absolutely made it really clear to Discovery that they were not going to air this episode talking about how hackable this stuff was, and Discovery backed way down being a large corporation that depends upon the revenue of the advertisers. Now it's on Discovery's radar and they won't let us go near it. |

"Smash Lab" (new show on the Discovery Channel) is a horrible ripoff of "Mythbusters."

| I love "Mythbusters." It's fun, charming, full of personality, very scientific, and a great way to learn about science. So now the Discovery Channel has made a new show called "Smash Lab." It's an obvious attempt at ripping off Mythbusters. However, it fails in every way possible. The characters have no personality. The show has no sense of fun, wonder, or amazement. It's absolutely horrible, in every way imaginable. |

| Hey, I got a question for all the firearm experts/enthusiasts on Free Republic. Speaking to my grandson recently - he is 16 - he told me a episode of Mythbusters where the look at the 'myth' shown in movies when a person gets shot they get blown back. The Mythbuster people concluded it was false by shooting a dead pig and a dummy. Also - and this stood out to me right away - they said that according to Newtons law - every action has an opposite reaction - that when the person gets blown back it would mean the... |
