Mythbusters is so awesome. Adam and jamie are really smart and funny guys. they make me laugh every episode
Correction, bluebean. Adam is the funny one, not jamie. but yess, good stuff still. I like the 'common joe' themed ones, like filtering Vodka to make it better, or whether you use more gas with windows down or AC on.
And of course, watching Tory trying to hop a wagon on a Bicyle. OUCH!

Mythbusters is great! I love Carrie on there too, especially in the episode where they turned the boom lift into a trebuchet, and the axle broke!
I'm with doordoctor, I love that episode where they blew up the cement mixer. That huge truck was blown to fragments!! !! One of my other favorites was when they dropped the elevator in the old hotel for the myth that if you jumped up in a falling elevator, you wouldn't get hurt

The cement truck. Oooh!
One second, it's there.
The next, it's already an expanding cloud of cement, metal and plastic.
There seems to be almost no transition between the cement truck and the blast, it's THAT fast. Still, I'd suppose 850 pounds of high explosive (nearly 400 kgs for us Aussies) would do that.
