    Oh yeah...and avoid vending machines too

    Especially this one ;)

  2. Mythbusters by hack++slash · · Score: 2, Informative · on The Beer Tossing Fridge

    This reminds me of the vending machine that Jamie of Mythbuster fame built for a 7-Up advertisment, http://www.m5industries.com/html/portfolio/7up.htm

    Visiting M5 Industries in San Francisco to see what Jamie and Adam have kicking around...

  4. M5 Industries by AugustZephyr · · Score: 4, Informative · on The Mismatched 'MythBusters'

    For your information here is a link to M5 Industries (Jamie Hyneman's) special effects shop: http://www.m5industries.com/
    And in case you were wondering they do not give tours or accept job applications. :(
    Adam also has his own personal website: http://www.adamsavage.com/

    Can anyone see these two hanging out after work? I don't think they get along very well. Adam is constantly making fun of the moustache, and Jamie obviously gets frustrated with Adam's antics.

    It is somewhat interesting that in the M5 industries press page How to Combot, the book caption on Build your own Combat Robot actually says Jamie Hyneman a.k.a "Adam Savage". Strange. http://www.m5industries.com/html/press/combot_book .htm

    first, correct the links:

    But what I really want to know is whether Adam actually had anything to do with Blendo. Jamie gives him no credit, but he claims a bunch. One of them is being a bit arrogant...

    "M5 is a separate business which is active even while I am working for MythBusters, and I am over occupied with trying to keep 2 full time jobs going at once - so I have trouble responding to questions and requests. So keep watching, I hope we keep you entertained, and 'Don't do anything I'd do!'" --Jamie Hyneman

    Ditto here. No problems.

    Don't forget folks, these things are designed by Jamie from the Mythbusters.

    He's the cautious one who tends to overbuild stuff.

    Buying educational toys that support someone who blows stuff up for me to watch on TV... now that's a great cycle.

  15. Re:My favorite show by h3 · · Score: 1 · on MythBusters - Who Ya Gonna Call?

    Some more not listed:

    17. Barrel of Bricks (my 2nd favorite segment, after Penny Drop)
    18. Cell phone destroys gas station
    19. Microwave madness
    20. Pop rocks (another fave)
    21. one about a fat woman on an airplane toilet
    22. Radio fillings

    There are probably others (should be a multiple of 3).

    This is my favorite show and I'm glad they brought it back to their regular schedule after a limited run early this spring. One thing people don't often mention is that it's the personality of the hosts that really make it. The subjects are interesting, especially to geeks, but Jamie (the one with the moustache) plays a perfect straight man to Adam's goofiness (best seen when they're both drunk in the breathalyzer segment).

    Here's a link to their effects house's web site (not too much info, but some good pics of their facility) http://www.m5industries.com
