I come to your aid!

Whilst reading your artical about sound waves breaking glass, I was remiss to read about someone claiming it was _impossable_ to do so with just the larynx [inset whomever you credit such things to] gave us. Not so!

I admit a love/hate relationship with the show ‘Mythbusters’. While I find their scientific process to be lacking, and their results often sckewed, I do SO enjoy watching things blow up.

In one episode, rock singer Jaime Vendera shattered a glass, with nothing more then his pipes. I give you the link to the wikipedia entry of the show. You’ll have to track down the acutal episode itself for alas, I do not have it.

> The cast of the television series MythBusters perform experiments to verify or debunk urban legends, old wives' tales, and the like. This is a list of the various myths tested on the show as well as the results of the experiments (the myth is Busted, Plausible, or Confirmed).

> This myth was revisited in MythBusters Revisited.

I hope this does not fall on deaf ears, and keep up the good work!
