"Superb"

By PsychoPerson, Aug 26, 2007

This was a awesome show (as usual). I loved the viewer's myths! Soo clever. For a second, I thought you could stop a car in reverse, but as usual, my sences were wrong. The thing that amazed me about this episode, was the car explousion action! CAR GO BOOOM. Ever seen Adam in the matrix movie before? Well, I think he should think about doing a matrix movie. lol, also another myth, open the car door with a tennis ball. I knew that would never ever work. When I saw the vid, I knew it was a bunch of ballony. But I give this episode 2 thumbs way up!moreless

So this was a fun episode. How many times in life have you heard some random story or watched some video on you tube and wondered if that could really happen. Well the mythbusters were nice enough to help us out with this. They took the most popular (and one of the strangest) questions and comments of the viewers of the website and decided to test them. There was one about a tennis ball opening a car door, busted. And another that sneezing with you eyes open will cause your eyeballs to pop out, also busted. But my favorite was the kid that wanted his parents car to be blown up, no myth, he just wanted to see it go boom.moreless

TRIVIA (2)
ADD TRIVIA
- The Mythbuster team actually busted the myth of stopping a car by putting it in reverse already in a previous episode. This happened in season 3, episode 3 where they were testing whether a broken drive shaft on the front joint of a car vault can cause a car to pole vault after it hits a pothole. During the trial runs for this myth Jamie accidently put the test car in reverse and saw that nothing happened.
  EDIT SHARE
- The "Eye-Popping Sneeze" myth was requested by over 10,000 people, making it the most-requested myth in the show's history.
