[http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/mythbusters.html](http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/mythbusters.html) And, from the looks of things, she’s quite far along, too. Doesn’t say when she’s due, as far as I could find. I think it’s soon, though. Congratulations, Kari! ---

Is it too late for them to test the “pregnant women get really horny during the second trimester” thing? I’m pretty sure that’s a myth. ---

Is that her real hair color or is it really red? ---

It’s probably her real hair color, since hair dye does funky things when you get all knocked up. Man, she’s hotter than ever! ---

I think she’s really a redhead, but I think that she also sometimes colors, because some episodes she has “real” looking red hair, and some she has “OMGFlourescent” red hair. ---

I’m not seeing any photos (just the link to her top ten list). Do you need to be a registered mythbusters message board user? ---

I hadn’t seen this thread or heard the news when it was announced last month. But while watching the new episode tonight, the first new one in months, I thought she looked a little heavier in that formless brown blouse. “Is Kari pregnant?” I wondered. A quick Google, and the myth was confirmed. Best wishes, Kari. I’ll never forget [our night together](http://www.lfexaminer.com/img_0322.jpg)! ---

Say, how long ago was that picture taken… …and how far along is she supposed to be? ---

Hell, if I’d tapped that, I’d be proud, too. I’m envious of the guy who did. Nothing wrong with that. Last night during the new episode, my wife and I commented that she was certainly wearing “pregnancy neutral” clothes, and suspected that she was knocked up. I envy her kid- he/she is going to have a fun childhood. ---

Aw, good for her! Will they do a pregnancy myths episode? That would be really great. I bet she’ll be a kickass awesome mom! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kari-byron-from-mythbusters-pregnant/488009.md?page=2)
