What a job

[firedragon]

Been watching Mythbusters. I would love to get payed doing what they do, hell i'd do it for free, but getting payed would be a good bonus.. Any one else like the show

 

[Chrisreptile]

i love it too.

not really sorry, i dont think they cover 'every variable' etc.

such as testing male V female driving on the snow. they tested themselves on time laps. yet each driver has different abilities/experience, and each time they run over the track, the road is 'different' and changed, tracks are cut into the ice/snow/puddles etc.

and those faux human flesh dolls, they dont really act as skin, cratilidge or bone, so yes a popsicle stick or whatever they shot at it will go through. etc. etc.


sorry if i crushed your dreams. if it makes you feel better, im a LOST fan.. i know, im so stupid/idiodic/unnecessarily faithfull to a stretched out show that should have ended in the first 5 eps. sorry guys, ive got 5+ seasons on the edge of my lonely, lonely seat.. im sorry hurley.. :lol:

As far as it goes - as what Kirby said, there's some pluses and some minuses. Fair testing is something I am always trying to teach students - and it's not difficult to get fair tests. But they will often admit that their tests are far from perfect!

I admit I love the show. They always have something on what I am teaching - which rocks!

So I often buy the DVDs.

LOL no kirby you havent crushed my dreams.
A job like that is a good way to get the ok to blow things up with out getting into trouble, among other stuff.

l like it They are a bunch of dags...get a bit of laugh out of it

 

[tfor2]

Thats what my husband does for a living.... Blowing things up for movies and special effects, gets boring too so they say.

 

[spilota_variegata]

I love the show and wish I thought of the idea first. I don't think you would ever tire of a job like that.

 

[kakariki]

Yep. I confess. I am a fan. Some of those tests are a bit out there though. Like the "blow up the toilet if you smoke in there" test. Good fun for the whole family! :lol:

 

[callith]

A job where you can blow things up just for the heck of it.....who wouldn't love it

 

[bredli84]

mythbusters and top gear are 2 of the best shows on tv, and their both on SBS (who would have thought i would watch SBS for anything other than their errrrm "foreign films").
as for mythbusters not testing every variable etc, i think they do a good job when u factor in time, money and entertainment constraints.

 

[Khagan]

I like the fact that when the myth doesn't work out they just go to extremes to blow it up or destroy something anyway XD.

ok that i agree with you, i only wish they would hurry up and blow it to peices.. i dont want to know how much of what and why or how is 'could have happend' just bloody blow the damn truck up!!!!

 

[spilota_variegata]

Plus they never profess to being scientists or anything like that. There background is special effects and I think Jamie was a Navy Seal or equivalent (which is no mean feat in itself). Where did that blonde girl with the tattoos go? I think she was the only one in the group with a degree - at least an engineering degree.

 

[bredli84]

Scotty? i think she was a mechanic?

 

[firedragon]

How many ppl would willingly allow themselves to be sprayed with skunk stink and then cover themselves in all sorts of stuff to get rid of the stink. I would if someone payed me LOL

 

[tfor2]

They actually both did special effects for film and television for over 20 years combined.
Rumour has it they dont like eachother all that much.

I wouldn't be half surprised. They are like chalk and cheese, but that's one of the things I love about the show Jamie is straight as an arrow and Adam is the village clown - a great mix.

 

[Sloth]

I think scotty left the show to start her own engineering workshop.

And it's a hell of a lot better then braniac I can't watch at show without screaming at the tv about the lies they put accross

 

[lil_ben]

They are a bunch of very smart guys.
