Haven't watched the full episode yet, but that video of the rocket sled sure is exciting!

Holy carp!

They are going to have trouble topping this later in the season. Amazing.

Unfortunately, the video has been removed. Hopefully TiVo caught it.

Wow, seems like Jamie's kind of an OCD Douchbag.

It was a rerun, but I just saw this: Mythbuster segment

These guys really will test anything no matter how stupid.

Stupid? That's one of my favorite segments. What an awesome, surprising result that was.

Pssst.... I'm trying not to spoil the result for anyone that has not seen it yet.

I was annoyed by the banana peel bit this week. The myth originates from depression-era when bananas were a popular, cheap snack sold on the street and city sanitation was nil. So banana peels were everywhere. And people were not wearing giant work boots with incredible traction like they kept showing Jamie wearing. I would have liked to see what would have happened if he were wearing flat-soled dress shoes.

That whole episode was stupid. Testing the validity of Seinfeld jokes? Like I said elsewhere I assume they'll shortly be examining whether it really was possible to take Henny Youngman's wife.

As for the validity of results, many of their experimental formats suck anyway (either being incomplete or not demonstrating what they say is being demonstrated) so I'm used to that. I assume they did the bananas because they just wanted to get the voiceover guy to say "super lube" a lot.

Some things they do are good and cool but anymore I find the noise ratio to be really high so don't watch much.
