If they make a machine like Munkus described I'm buying stock in funeral homes.
If society ever allows the creation and use of a device like that, you'd fare a lot better to buy stock in mass graves and factories that make giant furnaces
Mythbusters was awesome until they ran out of cool myths to bust. Last few times I've watched the show the things they were busting were ridiculous.
I laughed at the one where they tried testing alkali metals making a toilet explode. The video they were trying to prove or disprove showed the toilet blowing up like it was full of C4.
Sure, sodium metal in water is fun, but it's not high explosives.

There's a really cool episode of Star Trek: TNG that deals with the idea of a teleporter malfunction creating an exact clone of yourself.
Ryker's double was lost for years, stranded on desolate planet. Then the other Ryker came back. WHICH RYKER WAS THE REAL RYKER?

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Hahaha I immediately had that response form in my head when I read Hunter's post :^:
That's because we are mind linked. Are you reading that I'm a bit pissed off?
Well now everyone can read it! I guess you're mindlinked with everyone.

The show is OK, but there are times where they need to tell people to shut the fuck up about certain myths where the physics or basic scientific principles are just not feasible.
Or just jump right to the part about blowing shit up with C4 and unstable chemicals.

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

That and the robot fighting show.
I use to watch that quite a lot.

Didn't they do an episode about The Green Hornet, and actually bring in Seth Rogen to help them out?
I don't know. Last one I watched they were trying to determing if driving in reverse gave you better traction on ice. It was the least empirical experiment I have ever seen. 3 different people driving 3 vehicles with different drive trains with 3 different people watching their speed for them.
I know they are rarely empirical but I found the experiment to be almost insulting it was so bad.
t Quoth do you have an article or something about the ball bearing because talking about theory and principle is fine but actually doing it is a pretty big deal

Somebody needs to stop all the crazy shit in here, lest this thread rips itself to shreds.

Hunter is being silly so that goes without saying

the real question is
if the plane has 2.99999[repeating] doors and one is opened, is the plane more likely to take off if you stick to your door or should you switch?
maybe you should have given YOURSELF an infraction HUH

Oh god damn it Hunter these offensive stereotypes have to stop

Here's your "Goddamn Frogs" hat, and your mermbership card, and your longbow
Neither, because Riker is spelled with an I.
I think it might be the science channel...I just see it on the guide all of the time on one of the digital channels.

Teleporter malfunction.
the one with the full beard instead of the goatee
...which actually didn't occur until DS9, so until that point they were both the real Riker. yep
Is that like thinking with portals
