If a dog retrieves a stick of dynamite thrown onto a frozen lake and gets underneath an SUV, the dynamite will blow a hole in the ice that will cause the SUV to sink.
busted
To test this myth, Adam and Jamie went to Fischer Pond in Alaska. The dog consistently retrieved and brought back the object thrown onto the frozen lake, at about the same speed each time. However, when a stick of dynamite was detonated under an SUV, it did next to nothing. It took 24 pounds of dynamite packed into high-density directional cones to blow a hole large enough to sink the SUV.
"Cabin fever" is real.
plausible
To test this myth, Adam and Jamie were locked inside separate cabins in Alaska, with no entertainment at all. Both regularly took cognitive tests (to measure mental capacity) and saliva tests (to measure stress.) However, the results of the cognitive tests were too consistent, and the saliva tests were rendered worthless by the fact that Adam and Jamie frequently ate and drank beforehand. However, Adam exhibited all four common symptoms of cabin fever (irritability, forgetfulness, angry eyes, and excessive sleeping) and Jamie exhibited one (excessive sleeping).
If you are going to hit a moose with a vehicle, it is safer to hit it at a higher speed than to try to slow down.
busted
The Build Team ran identical cars into a fake rubber moose at two different speeds. The damage from the high speed impact was located higher up on the vehicle and was more severe. It was speculated that hitting a moose at a high speed would only work with a very low car such as an F1 race car. Such a car would be able to take out the legs and clear the area before the moose fell on top of it.
Where can I get one of those stress test machines? I want one!

June 10, 2008 at 8:15 PMOk so there is this video going around with asians, french, and americans doing this cell phone trick. They put 3 or four cellphones together in a circle and put unpoped kernals of popcorn in the center. Then they call the cell phones all at once and the popcorn pops! Is this real or is it a trick? I wanna try it but i dont have enough cell phones! It looks so real, some people say they have tried it and some say it did work and others say it didnt. Has anyone done it and it worked? Is this viedeo real???
June 19, 2008 at 6:22 AMCell phones and popcorn? Not unless they actually crank enough energy to equal a microwave. So no, video was bull.
June 23, 2008 at 1:24 AMI find adds on your web site about water into fuel. Why haven’t you tested this ridiculous idea? Is it because they are paying you to ignore the challange?
June 23, 2008 at 6:56 AM“Why haven’t you tested this ridiculous idea?”
Oh look, a self-answering question.
June 26, 2008 at 5:36 AMWater into fuel? They did test it and it was bogus. Not everything is a government conspiracy to drive up fuel prices.
