I know there are a bunch of Mythbuster fans on the board. There’s an [article](http://www.community-newspapers.com/archives/lgwt/20060322/) in the Los Gatos (CA) Weekly Times about the show and Myth-Hottie Kari Byron. Most important revelation in the story: Kari will have a four page spread in the June issue of FHM magazine. 🙂 ---

No where in that article did they mention her finest attribute and the reason she’s on that show…her rack. I did like the part about her butt getting scanned for the airplane toilet myth (I musta missed that episode). ---

Oh it was great, they scanned her butt, then made it bigger. She was mortified as I recall. ---

Christine, that was her name, wasn’t it? ---

And a special treat for the BADs, the [Mythbusters will be at the Exploratorium](http://www.exploratoriumstore.com/mythbusters.html) in June. Of course, if I ever get a day off during the week, I think I might just bring a case of beer down to [M5](http://local.google.com/local?f=q&hl=en&sll=53.480589,-2.285757&sspn=0.022985,0.090466&q=m5+industries,+sf&latlng=37775000,-122418333,17308714840469640487) and see what happens. ---

Whatever happened to Scottie? We’ve been watching DVRed episodes, and we haven’t seen her in ages. I always liked her (well, particularly because she’s terribly competent and could kill Kari and eat her.) If my boyfriend goes nuts over one more cute pair of arm warmers, or another hat, on that girl… ---

I always liked her **(well, particularly because she’s terribly competent and could kill Kari and eat her.)** If my boyfriend goes nuts over one more cute pair of arm warmers, or another hat, on that girl… I have no cite, but I seem to recall that she left because her time at MythBusters was cutting into her real life, and she didn’t want to dump that for the show. And I just had to highlight your line above. That’s priceless. ---

The article also said that Kari was on Letterman, which I wasn’t aware of. In case any of you missed it, too, I found a clip on youtube: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBchCW23SwM&search=kari%20byron](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBchCW23SwM&search=kari%20byron) ---

Yep, Christine. I thought the others were called mythterns too, but you may be right about their titles. Anyway, they’ve since been promoted to full-fledged mythbusters like Jamie and Adam. > [@](#): > > The article also said that Kari was on Letterman, which I wasn’t aware of. Yeah she was, about a month ago or so. Kind of a so-so interview, but Kari sure does clean up real good. 😃 ---
