MythBusters - The Lost Experiments

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they-should-battle-mr.wizard dept.

theLorax writes "From Discovery: "If you like the MythBusters here are some videos they just posted of some of the out takes and things that didn't appear on the show. Cola bits (cleaning things with cola), water torture, otter ping pong, live power lines, cement build up and plywood flight." Here is the interview we did with these guys in December.

    From the summary, it sounds like these guys are a step removed from Jackass. But seriously, when are they going to deal with the myth that Java "is just as efficient as C++ these days"

      They only have about 15 minutes per myth. That just isn't enough time to start up your typical Hello World! application written in Java.

    I'm not sure, but I think the water torture myth has something to do with watching a Sports Illustrated swimsuit shoot and not getting to touch...

    God I just love watching that cement truck explode!

    If you've never seen it - dont miss it! - It's at the very end of the video

    If these episodes are so lost how come I have seen them all on TV?

    Shit, son. This sounds like a job for the MythBusters! They could test the validity of the myth that these videos have been seen on TV before.

    Obviously, there's nothing left to discover.

  6. Otter Ping-Pong? by Jah-Wren+Ryel · · Score: 4, Funny

    Forget Otter Ping-Ping - I want to know if Thai beaver really can shoot ping-pong balls! I knew a girl with a half-thai beaver, but I could never convince her to give it a shot, so clearly this is a job for mythbusters!
