Adam Savage of Mythbusters was interviewed by [reason.tv](http://reason.tv) - the online video version of Reason magazine. The video is on the Bad Astronomy web site [here](http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/07/20/mythbuster-talks-skepticism-and-reason/). Adam mentions urban legend debunking sites Snopes and The Straight Dope, at about the 5:15 mark. He likes us! He really likes us! 😃 (Mods - This is pretty MPSIMS-ish, move it as you see fit. Or close it if someone beat me to the punch.) ---

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. 😃 ---

> [@featherlou](#): > > He should build himself a special vitriol suit so he can go on message boards whenever he wants. 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. ---
