Another new episode last night. This time, they tried to see if two phone books, held together page by page, could have so much friction between each other that they could never be separated. It was very funny to see how far they were willing to take this myth.

I'm surprised that they didn't label that confirmed since it isn't likely someone will be able to access army tanks.

A new episode was on last night. One myth they tested was if a blind person could drive a car with help from a passenger. They also tested a few golf related myths, such as golf balls having a 90% chance of going straight through a tree, and if metal cleats were more likely to attract lightning.

They will do some Indiana Jones myths for the episode this wensday.

Last week's new episode was quite funny. They were testing ways how a drunk person could sober up quickly. You should have seen what happened when Adam fell over on that treadmill.

Sounds like a funny scene.

I'll be honest, that looked painful, and the only reason he didn't seem to notice what really happened is because he was smashed. :blink:

Kor · **Reply #48 on:** October 27, 2008, 04:20:17 PM

Likely. I heard really drunk people are not aware of pain.

They need to re test the titanic myth form the first season. And they need a much bigger boat! a couple what was the weigth of the boat they did? whatever it was they need to re do it I say.

I just submitted a myth idea to do at their website.

It's similar to the magic bullet myths from LONG ago, but it's about an ice dagger. The idea came from an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger, about an assassin that used daggers made of ice.

What do you guys think about it?

I don't think it would work since they would have to be in a cooler and if you're int he middle of any where between the poles in spring,summer or fall they would melt so you would have to use them in winter but your target would have layers of clothes on so it would be impraticle. Just my thought though.

I really don't have time to watch tv. Even if I do, it's almost always online.

So no, I never watched this.

Did anyone see the season premeire last night? I did and it was awesome!

The Chronicler · **Reply #54 on:** April 09, 2009, 04:09:20 PM

I saw it! Talk about a demolition derby.

Flipping over a bus, driving a car through various things, dropping a car from 4000 feet, and re-testing the compact compact myth, even going as far as using rockets to crush that car! That was an awesome episode!

Yeah it was one of their best episodes ever!

Did anyone see this week's episode? It was a YouTube special (myths based on YouTube videos). The myths tested were: 30,000 match-heads creating a huge flame, a spinning tire on pavement can catch on fire, and a giant sphere (7-foot diameter) built out of Lego bricks rolls down a sloped road and hits a car without causing any damage. This episode was hilarious, especially the giant Lego ball.

saw that. the lego ball was huge. my little bro watched it with me and was amazed by the explosion

The Chronicler · **Reply #58 on:** May 14, 2009, 03:30:33 PM

Did anybody see this week's episode? The myths tested were a car fire causing the bumpers to explode and shooting an arrow while riding a horse would result in twice the penetration than while standing still.

I just posted on the website for a revisit of a first season myth with doors and guns, which I had problems with whether or not they actually meant to replicate it according to the 1920s & 30s. Has that ever been revisited?
