A lot of you would probably be familiar with the Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel. If not, they are a team of professionals which test various rumors and myths about things such as: Can you start a fire with mirrors and the sun, can you build a boat from duck tape, and a lot of other cool stuff.

So what Myth would you like the Mythbusters to solve for you?


Mine would be:
Is it true that two bullets from the same caliber and type of gun, fired directly it each other, hit dead center, pancake each other, and fall down?

Overall irradiated areas after a nuke detonation, I want radius from point of impact. Problem is, I think I could get that on google... but hey, a nuke and the Mythbusters in radiation suits, what isn't to love?

Edit: now that I think of it that isn't much of a myth


Perhaps I'll get them to... idk test to see if shooting a planes engine with various sizes of weapon (no explosives) will cause the whole thing to burst into flames, and of course there has to be a bunch of crash test dummies in the plane.

Do cars always explode when they turn over on their back? No, they don't.

When a cars gas tank explodes, does it engulf the passenger compartment? Again, no.

There. I just busted 2 of my own hollywood myths.

However, I would like to see them try these on Mythbusters.

Hehe. Adam would probably kill himself proving that myth.

Bloody Mary.

If you say Bloody Mary 3 times in a mirror with the lights off, what happens?

1/1 Nothing
1/6 The tap runs red with blood
1/12 She comes out and hits you over the head like in that film.
1/100000 You die by spiders that come out of every body opening, and I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Quite possibly, they'd probably have to test it out in the desert so many lizards would die in explody goodness as well. However you are forgetting that Tory is the dangerous one in the group.

They already tested that.

Who would win a race? A Eurofighter vs -OH WAIT TOP GEAR DID IT


OT: What would happen if you turned the headlights on in a car going the speed of light. I know the answer, be nice to see Mythbuster test it.

The first version of that I heard was fucking disgusting.

She came out of the mirror and then started stabbing you with a solidified, hard-as-a-diamond, sharp peice of SHIT.

As for me, I'd want them to see if Swine Flu is really that big of a deal. I keep trying to convince my family that, although it has the potential to be dangerous, right now it just isn't.

They did that one with civil war miniballs. The answer is yes.

This.

For something to be a myth, it can't be something random that comes to my mind, like Radeon suggested DNA replacing with bacon.

It'd be a myth if it was a known belief that nothing wouldn't happen or vice versa, but there isn't such a myth.

Now God though? Considered a myth by many, I'd like for that myth to be tested. Of course, they can't do that, but that's the point of this thread, isn't it?
