Mythbusters Favourite Episode

[TheGuru]

So what is your favourite Mythbusters Episode?

[InLove]

I don't know how to choose..... It does upset me that I can't convince ANYONE (I really mean it, no matter how hard I try to explain how they recreated it!!!) that explosive decompression doesn't exist after watching that episode.

I have to admit that it's ruined movies a bit, knowing that a car wouldn't blow up if you shoot it's gas tank and that if you jumped off a bridge you'd probably lose a limb (like poor buster did). Although know that jumping underwater does stop you being shot is cool.

Ohhh There's so many to choose from.....

I don't get to watch it anymore tho coz I don't have the discovery channel

Ah yes I remember that one!

Basically shooting a hole in window of a pressurised window doesnt lead to people being sucked out of the plane

I was surprised that the bullets being shot into water stopped so quick. However it is just basic physics

One of my favourite episodes is where they made the big Egyptian battery. Then tested it by zapping the surly guy (Jamie?). He was not impressed

I remember that one! They hooked up the electric fence device to the 'altar' and shocked Adam....

He was sooooo angry he stormed off.

Yep, remember that one too (actually, how can you forget them, Discovery repeats so often )....

I liked the one where they blew up that truck in a Quarry (can't remember exactly what Myth they were trying to Bust BUT can you imagine getting to blow up an Entire Truck ... I definitely went into the wrong profession

That episode was cleaning a cement mixer truck with TNT

Oh yeah, That's right, I remember now... and it worked too... it didn't just remove the dried concrete but the entire truck too

I liked the one where they tested if you could fly with the helium balloons attached to the chair..

and also..

the myth about the guy who attached that rocket engine to his car and ended up half way up the side of a mountain. I thought Adam trying that was amusing!
