yea me too parts,
the most famous one i remember was the one were they blew up the cement truck and other stuff. the funniest one i remember was about the myth of u die if u pee on 3rd rail of electric train tracks (such as amtrak and septa lines) always interesting to watch. my favorite part of their web page on discovery is teh mythbusters quiz. i love this show also because of how they rig things. like making small scale machines and other things. if im not watching mythbusters i watch another discovery channel show called dirty jobs with mike rowe another funny one.

I'm a huge MythBusters fan; Adam and Jamie are awesome...IMHO MythBusters is the 2nd best show on cable TV (behind X-Play of course).

I watched a behind-the-scenes episode of Mythbusters and Jamie mentions his stumbling / difficulty with his verbal communications on the show, but you do not normally see him having any difficulty because of the video editing. Also mentioned was a lack of emotion. I wonder if he has some Aspie traits.

I have really taken Adam's phrase about reality to heart. And I like how the normally deadpan Jamie said: "Jamie wants big boom!" (Gas station/cell phone myth)

Everytime I watch(every time its on!), I marvel at the contrast between the Jamie and Adam.

Adam is totally social, fast thinker, but waaay wierd, always joking. His wit is quick, and hes very funny.

Jamie is monotone, both in dress and voice, totally logical, seemingly immune to pain, He's dead pan in his jokes and facial expressions... I think Aspie everytime I watch. Adam wouldnt be nearly so funny without Jamie. The straight man is a comedy duo is always underrated.

Tory is macho/jock in action, he hams it up physically when he does. His physical and verbal face plants are always good for a laugh.

Grant has a more intellectual sense of humour. He doesnt seem to joke as much, or maybe it doesnt translate in my aspy sense of humour. I bet hes far funnier in Real Life.

Christine is the long suffering Mythtern, and her laughs come partly from the torment Jamie and Adam put her through. She sure is a trooper. Stoic.

Scotty seemed to be the work horse, so to speak. Or maybe 'Larry' to Adams 'Curly' and Jamies 'Moe'.

Kari... Shes a total NT, far as I can see. I am betting shes pretty aware of body language, unlike the typical NT. She seems to express herself fairly intensely, and that might be a big part of her attractiveness. I love her smile, and she always looks at the face of the people who are speaking.

Her sense of humour is slightly daffy, not hard edged, as far as I can tell.

Mythbusters came to the church in my housing development. This church is brand new and it's huge. They did a show on whether the size of the church is for attendance for God's purpose or for the money!

I wasn't at the church while the show was filmed, though.
