This episode included Jamie fixing a Hobo xxxxxxx foil-wrapped meal. Would appreciate the full name and/or recipe. This portion of the show was deleted from all the available on-line episodes, so cannot get the information by watching any of the on-line episodes.

Ive seen something like this on a show my little brother watches, where these school kids tried to pull of a prank called the “atomic flush”. where they flushed all the toilets in the school at once in order to try and make the school lift off the ground. i personally dont think this is possible. but what would happen to the foundation of the building? could the building possibly move at all?

With the aerosol can exploding myth. If the question posed was ‘is an aerosol can placed in a fire capable of killing someone’ then the mythbusters most definitely got this one wrong. I can personally vouch for the lethality of an aerosol can placed in a fire. A little over 23 years ago when i was about 6 i was outside with my dad when he started to burn the trash (we lived in arkansas, well outside of town so there was no trash service). I was standing maybe eight feet from the burning trash when we heard a sound similar to a gunshot. What happened was a full starch can had been thrown away by my older sister, and it had exploded in the fire. The can took off out of the fire and hit me in the chest and face. Where it hit me in the face it caused an internal nose bleed, where it hit me in the chest it caused my right lung to collapse and some pretty serious burns. The combination of injuries was enough to keep me in the hospital for a little over a week and out of school for close to two and a half months. The combo of the blood from my nose draining down into my lungs and stomach, and the collapsed lung, as well as the trauma from the burns nearly killed me. Personally i would say that under the right circumstances it is more than plausible that an aerosol can placed into a fire could be lethal.

the red rag to a bull myth – doing some research on internet – shows that it’s not just a “red” rag – but a “blood-soaked (red) rag” that ‘excites’ and ‘angers’ the bull -

Hey MythBusters, I have 1 myth for you guys, It comes from cartoons. A guy was riding on 1 of those Bull toy things at
The Bar. The HE suddenly lost His grip, and fly of the window. I would like to know if that is possible.
and one thing. If you are doing a myth, that comes from a history. Like say when Grant,Kery and tory did the tight Jeans myth. They say it’s busted but how come iit Happened to a boy?

I was at my camp & threw an empty spray paint can into a very hot campfire. I stood back 30-40 feet, expecting it to explode. I heard a loud bang, but the can didn’t explode. Instead the end of the can blew off & the can shot out like a missle(but I didn’t know that yet). About 10 seconds later the paint can fell through the trees & hit my camper, that was about 150 feet away.(it was airborn all this time) I do not know the velocity it achieved, but if it had hit someone, it could have caused a serious injury.

Good day Myth Buster team great show

On the bullet myth episode 85, when storing bullets you actually want to hide it from a possible thief, you will not store bullets in front of an oven door window, you will store it out of sight, in its case against the walls of the oven or at the BACK out of sight.

That will provide the possibility to redirect the energy in one direction. Thus double the power of the bullet to go through the door.

Thanks from SA
