Great show lineup there...

Mythbusters is awesome. I learned that you really shouldn't take a shower or talk on the phone during a thunder storm. <corny_joke>It could lead to a shocking experience.</corny_joke>

I learned that you get wetter by running in the rain than by walking.

You also get wetter when you walk in the rain without an umbrella than if you had an umbrella.

Amen, I fucking love that show.

Sadly, that's what the "Discovery" channel has turned into. The History Channel is now more like Discovery used to be (interesting shows that you can learn useless knowledge from), but now it's more like...FX or something. Mythbusters is it's last great show, though. Jamie and Adam are awesome.

"I always enjoy seeing Adam in pain."

Hey FX has some good shows.

[EdenMaster]

Oh yeah, like "THE WORLDS GREATEST POLICE CHASES!" and "THE WORLDS SCARIEST POLICE CHASES!", and "THE WORLDS WILDEST POLICE CHASES!".

That, and Buffy.

That sounded interesting, so I googled it to find out more about it. I came across this:

Thomas Peterson and Trevor Wallis of the National Climatic Data Center, writing in the meteorological journal Weather, also tackled the running vs. walking controversy. "We decided to deal with this with scientific rigor. We did an experiment," Peterson was quoted as saying in Health magazine.

The magazine goes on to describe the experiment: "One rainy day the two men donned identical sweat suits and hats, which they'd weighed before the test. For added accuracy, they wore plastic garbage bags underneath the sweat suits to keep their underclothes from wicking away any water. They then set out through the downpour on a 100-meter course. Wallas ran; Peterson walked.

"When they finished, the men weighed their clothes again to find out how much water they'd soaked up. Peterson's had absorbed about seven and half ounces, while Wallis's sopped up only four and a half."

Maybe they should have a Myth-busters-busters show. :p
