B and I enjoy this show immensely. Even A and M join in when they notice it's on. It is a show on the Discovery Channel in which a group of people (that originally started with two, Jamie,l, and Adam) test out common myths. Each myth is then determined to be "busted," "confirmed," or "plausible." Cool huh? Come on, don't you remember way back when being told not to ingest pop rocks and soda? That was one of the first myths busted. I was kinda hoping to see a stomach explode, ah well. There are plenty of other myths that end up confirmed.I really enjoy the theme episodes they've done. They used to just show unrelated myths for busting, but have now been having more theme shows. One was on pirate myths. It was said that some pirates wore eye patches not to look scarier or because they've lost an eye, but because it helped them see better at night. Telling you that the myth was plausible isn't enough. You have to see the episode. Another special was about Bond myths. I especially enjoyed the myths of blowing up a propane tank and the electromagnetic watch.
One cool thing I found while researching the show is that a few people have claimed that watching the show helped them make decisions that involved their survival or the survival of others. There are links below for the Discovery Channel and Wiki, both of which are filled with enough info to get you interested in watching at least one episode.
