The Fark headline on this was “Mythbuster’s Adam Savage has apparently figured out a way to transform himself into a 12-year-old girl in order to compete in spelling bees” > **[Winner by a ‘nostril’](https://mtstandard.com/news/local/article_2d283924-409e-11e0-b535-001cc4c002e0.html)** > > In this day of word processing and spell checks, does anyone know how to actually spell words without the help of computers? I think it would be totally awesome if you invited the kid down and reshot the introduction for one show to substitute her for Adam. It would be hilarious. ---

Oh, that’s very funny. That’s how Adam feels on the inside when Jamie is mean to him. In case anybody hasn’t seen this, [here’s a MythBusters episode featuring Adam’s appearance in a Charmin commercial.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p14xIE_0F7M)
