Science

The other day, I was watching the Discovery Channel, when I had an idea. You’ve probably seen Mythbusters, you know, the programme that’s presented by a man and his French walrus:
…..special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, who use basic elements of the scientific method to test the validity of various rumors, urban legends, myths, movie scenes, internet videos and news stories in popular culture.
I’m not really sure how often the Discovery Channel show the programme these days, but you shouldn’t have much trouble finding it. It’ll be buried in there every day somewhere between the macho science and dumbed-down American documentaries.
Anyway, there were a few things I have always wondered about, and I thought that it would be interesting to do some of my own research. I could have just googled, but for once I wanted to engage my brain rather than just plugging into the laziness of internet searching.
I hope you enjoy.
