Heh, I've been hooked on this show since the start of the year. Must be my inner engineer, heh.

The first series had some really good ones, like the person cannon. You can tell its a good one when Jaime gets excited (and shows it), cos it doesn't happen often. The new team this series is a fresh twist on things, just in case you were getting bored with the senior busters.

i love this show! i'm not sure about the junior mythbusters yet though, but i'm givbing it time before i commit to a side. I missed this monday's, dammit, it sounds like a good one. Those guys amaze me. Did anyone see the breakstep bridge ep, when adam built a 60 ft bridge? the experiment didn't work so well, but the construction was effing amazing!!

oh, and i have a crush on both of those guys. is that just me? something so sexy about those science geeks!

They proved that the bridge one was busted. It's not though, my maths lecturer used it as an example of Vibration analyis.

Yeah, I gotta agree, you'd have to be fucking stupid to put one in the microwave.

Well it depends on the individual bridge's fundamental frequency.

Yeh, its very hard to model something like that. We touched that in my fluids class (experimental modelling).

Yeah, I thought the bridge one was a bit inconclusive, it was too hard to model.

SBS used to replay the previous week's episode on 5:30pm mondays, but i don't think they do that anymore.

i saw this one where thye were trying to find out if drinking baking soda ( I'm not sure but some kind of soda) could explode your stomach. it was cool cos they used this sheeps stomach and you could see the thing bursting it's seams. mythbusters rocks - but i watch it on discovery cos sbs are showing old episodes.
