What experiments would you like to see tried on "Mythbusters"?

If you put a frog in a pan of water and bring the heat up very slowly …

If you masturbate enough, will you grow hair on your palms?

Basement nukes.

Should be quite a show.

No blowing things up, so this would probably go to the B team, but still I think it’s interesting. I’ve heard/read about people starting a line to nowhere - start a line with three or four people, and other random people will join it, not even knowing what they’re waiting for. It sounds UL-ish, but at the same time, I’ve seen SO many sheeple backed up waiting to go through a double door on the right hand side, instead of walking up and opening the completely unused left side, it’s possible human psychology works this way.

But the weird thing is few people in the line ever seem to figure it out either. I’ll admit I’ve fallen for it once or twice, just assuming something inside was backed up, but it didn’t take long to figure out it was bunk. Oddly, most people will sit there for well over 30 minutes.

“Next week on Mythbusters: is Mutually Assured Destructed actually enforced?”

You know, I find her far more attractive when she’s working (and showing her smarts as well as her looks) than in that faux-sciencey lingerie shoot.

Yes! If you think you have it bad, I have a 150cc scooter.

Do some bikinis really turn transparent when wet? Let’s try some on Kari.

Does Kari look sexy in military-grade body armor with an assault rifle? Let’s find out!

Don’t judge me.

Were you the guy bouncing up and down at a red light the other day?:smiley:

Using props from another SF Bay area company (fuckingmachines), how many orgasms can the human female endure before passing out?

Kari Byron in a long anticipated role, as well as surprise guest appearances from Mythtern Jess and Original Mythbuster Scottie!

Also, the boys will blow some shit up. Who cares?

A few:

  1. Those deer whistle thingies that you hook to your car to supposedly scare off deer. Consumer Reports has said that they don’t work, which I accept at face value, but I’d like to see the Mythbusters team’s methodology.

  2. With sufficient aeration, can you fall from a certain height (say, 100 feet) into aerated water and survive? As I said in another thread:

  1. Test the limitations of the Wii remote. As I said in another thread:
  1. How long could a car idle with infinite fuel? Again, my post in another thread:

Actually, I just started riding my bike again after a long hiatus. My BICYCLE trips the signal on every light I’ve tried so far, as long as I’m sitting in the middle of the lane right over the sensor wires.

J.

Lucky you. When I’m out on my bike late at night without other cars to trip the sensor for me, I have to either go over to the sidewalk to hit the “walk” button, or run the red.

Raguleader, you don’t quite get the concept. The idea isn’t to ask questions to which we already know the answer. What you need to do is find a question to which we don’t already know the answer, but which would nonetheless involve Kari donning the afore-mentioned body armor and rifle.

9/11 Myths, using models, but the other way around.

How much damage would a missile do to the Pentagon?

Could enough explosives be put in the WTC, undetected, to cause an collapse? Even using thermite?

No you don’t,take it from me.

I don’t care about the consequences, MAD is one of the theories that HAS to be tested.

Um, Hey, HeyHomie…can you give the links to those threads? I’d like to see what our people had to say.

It’s the opposit: if you have hairy palms, masturbate enough and you’ll have less.

Thank you. I enjoy this show from time to time, but much much much too often the thing they actually wind up proving or disproving has f&ck-all to do with whatever myth they came up with to justify the segment. They other day, I saw one where the “myth” they were working with was that the bus in Speed would have tipped over if Keanu hadn’t told everyone to move to the one side to keep it from doing so. They (a) wasted time by replicating the scene as it was done in the movie (all the weight on one side), then (b) disproved the “myth” by distributing the weight evenly between the two sides of the bus, then (c) finally got around to what they really wanted to do in the first place, which was to crash the frakking bus.*

C’mon, guys. Just make a show called “Sh!t We Blew Up Real Good” and be done with it.

*Disclaimer: I either fell asleep or changed the channel before I actually saw the bus crash. I’m assuming they didn’t stop until they crashed it. It was, however, their expressed intent.

Didn’t they do that one already ? Dropping Buster from a great height into water they’d just blown up ?
