jkwleisemann Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Next Week, on Mythbusters... Superhero myths! Really... I kinda think that says all that need be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobGreenwade Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Re: Mythbusters! The show (the preceding episode) airs here on the PTZ in 50 minutes... after seeing the outfits the gang came up with for the pirate and ninja episodes, I can hardly wait to see what they're wearing for this one. (Or maybe Major Victory will do a guest cameo....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weldun Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Re: Mythbusters! *sniff* And it'll probably be over a year before it shows here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamLeisemann Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Re: Mythbusters! *builds a robot to offer comforting hugs, Mythbusters style, based off of Bustette (a crash dummy with a wig, lipstick, and silicone added to the chest* Here's for you Weldun. I know this isn't a very good afterthought, but maybe I should have measured how much air pressure is needed for a comforting hug rather than a bear hug...

BobGreenwade Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Re: Mythbusters! After seeing the promo, I have to admit to a bit of disappointment. The original suggestion on the Mythbusters website cited such things as whether someone with super-strength could actually get the leverage to lift a car without tearing it to shreads, and even suggested some ways to build the tests. What they're doing is less Superman-like than Batman-like, testing superhero gadgets. It's still going to be a fun episode, but not quite as cool.

Clonus Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Re: Mythbusters! I think that's better. Mythbusters is, after all, about things some people think might actually be sort of possible. Everyone knows that Superman and the Hulk are doing impossible things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though for the most part, that is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Re: Mythbusters! I had no idea that they were planning this when I started the thread about this episode on the NGD board. Still, I'm going to watch it and my satellite receiver's DVR will record it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
