Straight Dope mention by Adam Savage

Adam Savage of Mythbusters was interviewed by reason.tv - the online video version of Reason magazine. The video is on the Bad Astronomy web site here.

Adam mentions urban legend debunking sites Snopes and The Straight Dope, at about the 5:15 mark.

He likes us! He really likes us! :smiley:

(Mods - This is pretty MPSIMS-ish, move it as you see fit. Or close it if someone beat me to the punch.)

He likes Cecil, and Cecil’s minions. I doubt he gives a damn about the message board.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing that.

Exactly.

In fact, I’ve heard him mention that he doesn’t go on message boards that often because of the vitriol.

He should build himself a special vitriol suit so he can go on message boards whenever he wants.

I’m a minion! Ergo, HE LIKES ME!

Of course, I’d rather that Kari liked me, but I’m satisfied without it. :smiley:

I haven’t watched all episodes, but he gets to legally blow up all sorts of shit. His conclusions are secondary, since he gets to legally blow up all sorts of shit–ON CAMERA. My main objection is that they keep showing exposition and not every last explosion.

Didn’t someone here work for them as a researcher for a while?

Or use his space suit. He has his own replica of the Apollo space suit.

You’re right. I stand corrected. Well, sit corrected if you want to be technical about it.

I’m with you on that one! :smiley:
