Welcome back Mythbusters!

My biggest problem with the car vs motorcycle for “greenest” mode of transportation, comes from understanding the California Emissions standards. Cars are subject to them, but motorcycles obviously have different standards. If cars from states that don’t require the stricter CA emissions criteria were used, the results might be very different.

Love that RPGs really only destroy what is in front of them, and that a bullet can set one off, but only if the RPG is already armed. I think if I were in high school today, I might be dreaming of attending New Mexico Tech.

I was not surprised by the result Adam and Jamie got regarding floating on your back instead of treading water to survive an underwater blast. The military generally knows what they are talking about when it comes to keeping soldiers alive.

We also watch Deadliest Warrior, so we already knew that paper armor worked, but it was fun to see the ways in which the Build Team chose to test it. However, when it came to crawling along a rope over water wearing armor (paper or steel)- who thought that would be a good idea? Shouldn’t someone have common sense?

I enjoyed the lighting a tomb with mirrors myth. It was simple and straightforward. I was not surprised by the result (plausible but not practical), due to the sun moving.

As for the Build Team, we have decided they do not even field calls from the insurance company anymore. Torrie’s harpoon, while it worked, was scary. On this one, I really think they should have pressed the “do not try this at home” bit harder. Maybe they should have had the “professional drivers on a closed course, do not attempt” standard white text scrolling across the bottom of the screen.
