Do snuff films actually exist? If we can’t find any, we’ll do what Mythbusters do best and make our own!

Clark used the idea in several of his short stories. His reasoning is that, while the blood would boil if you had a cut, it was in a closed system and would take time to reach a vacuum. When he wrote about it, he included taking a deep breath to keep pressure in the lungs, the most likely place for something to rupture.

A story in the collection “Islands in the Sky” IIRC. I have a small handout from when I saw 2001 at the Capitol Theater in NY on just this subject. I’m not surprised he included it in the film.
Detonating a nuke from a small suitcase - terrorism myth or can it really be done?
Jamie Lee Curtis - the myth lives on, but our comprehensive medical examination reveals the truth!
One Richard Gere, one gerbil - let’s see if it’s really possible!
Can a guillotined head still be aware? Practical demo featuring Dick Cheney!

That reminds me- after the snuff film myth, they can put a video camera around the neck of the deceased so they can record their discovery of if there is a soul and a God.

Bravo!
“Could controlled demolitions have really taken down the WTC? What would a missile do to the pentagon?”
(Actually, I’m half-serious. It would be hilarious to see them try to wire two gigantic buildings with all the needed explosives in that time allowed, then wait for an airplane to hit).

I would love to see them take on some of the WTC myths too. They don’t have to recreate the disaster but they could test many aspects of the conspiracy theories and crush them all like the bad science they are. I don’t see it happening any time soon, though…
What happens if you strap buttered toast to the back of a cat and drop him? This week: bread, butter, and lots of bandaids!
Well, there was that idea I had to test how long it would take napalm (as from a flamethrower) to immobilize a zombie—but I don’t know if the galvani frog leg trick would work on a cow leg long enough to get usable results.
Anyway…
“How long would your dog wait to eat your corpse if you died alone in the house?”
“Can a silver tube down your throat keep you from strangling when being hanged?”
“Are humans and chimpanzees really genetically compatible? How about just…physically?”
“Was McCaffrey’s “unique” gay theory true?”
“Do all lobotomies turn the patient into a mindless zombie, or just transorbital ones?”
They could steal someone’s kidney.
They could try to make a knock-out perfume spray and kidnap women from parking lots.

Is it true that if you give a girl a full spanish fly pill, instead of a half, and then leave her in the car at the drive-in to go get some popcorn, that when you come back she will have masturbated to death on the gear shift?

[Re: Is Kari Byron a real redhead?]We really need to spread some urban legends along these lines. We could also say that she has peculiar tattoos on her breasts, and a very interesting birthmark on her buttocks.

Well, they’ve already shown a cast of her buttocks (First season I think?), when testing the amount of suction from an airplane toilet. This was before she was an official cast member, I believe.

Or they could kill the subject on a scale to see if he becomes 21 grams lighter at the moment of death.

Would posting a link to a photo of same make me a cad, or be considered a dutiful public service?
Public service! Public service!
A man who drinks pineapple juice tastes sweeter. :eek:
Too late :smack:
Martial artists can suck their testicles back into their body, thus rendering the crotch shot useless. We’ll test it by having Jamie kick Chuck Norris.

The clitoris, does it exist?
