Mythbusters

One of the shows I enjoy very much is Mythbusters. The premise of this Discover Channel series is that a group of special-effects experts attempts to test various urban legends. For example, is it true that a water heater can shoot upwards like a rocket through your house? To test that, they first had to disable all the safety systems of a domestic water-heater (something unlikely to happen by accident), and then they started it heating up. Check out the results...



Good stuff.

  1. I rolled over here 'cause Padre Mickey said so... And found one of my most favorite Mythbusters eps ever!

    (However I argue that the cement truck has to be the absolute best one ever.)
