The MythBusters tackle some of Hollywood's favorite explosive scenarios. Could a hero really shoot a live grenade in midair and thus render it useless? Could you really contain a TNT explosion inside an ordinary object like a file cabinet or aquarium?
It's YOUR house under the Myths-cro-scope this time. Could a vacuum cleaner explode while sucking up black powder? Could sunscreen scorch your skin? Could a piano crash through your roof? And finally, could an exploding water heater extinguish a house fire?
The MythBusters go to vertigo-inducing heights to test out some commercial myths. Could you actually bob for an apple while jumping from a 100-foot high bungee cord? And from a viral video, could you really play a match of tennis while both players are standing on top of an airplane's wing?
In this episode, three car crimes straight from Hollywood are put to the test: the cliff top push, the two-wheel wipeout (and ... we do mean WIPEOUT, with Adam at the wheel to boot), and, finally, the Corvette barrel roll from "Wanted."
The MythBusters use sexy science to tackle five captivating clich?s about the laws of attraction, including whether men really do prefer blondes, if pheromone sprays really work, if bigger boobs equal bigger tips, and whether a man's wealth really woos women.
If you travel at all, you'll LOVE this episode, as Jamie and Adam explore the most efficient ways to board an airplane (back to front? window to aisle? unassigned seating? etc.). Then, Kari, Grant and Tory determine whether you can really make a bullet out of a human tooth.
The subject is everyone's favorite topic of discussion besides weather: traffic! The MythBusters determine whether a roundabout (or rotary) is better than a four-way stop sign, if it's faster to drive than fly when your trip is under 400 miles, and whether it's better to change lanes or stay put in heavy traffic.
