Thank you all for a great program.
Just watched the episode 90, “Supersized Myths”. Waterski after a full size cruiseliner was done by 3 guys at the same time after the ferry, MF Queen Ingrid, crossing the Great Belt in Denmark back in July 24th 1983. It has been done several times after, and who knows, perhaps also before.

chevy impala with rockets – I heard this myth in the early 1960′s about someone attaching jato units to his car lighting them off ,becomeing airborne and slamming into the side of a mountain killing the driver.

Can a car really be converted to run on water to double your gas mileage? Please test.

Will swallowing a magnet attract you to other magnets like in “Tom and Jerry”? Please test that.

I’m totally new to mythbusters and you guys are just amazing. I too was very intrigued by all these talk about cars running on water. Is it really possible? If all this is true, we surely don’t have to worry about paying $5 for gas. If this is all scam, then why aren’t the responsible authorities taking any action?

In reference to Dick Landgraff’s comment, “This has been known for a very long time. So whenever Dolphins (or Porpoises if you wish to call them) are in the water, there are no Sharks around.”
Actually, that misconception is BUSTED by several nature videos that even air on the Discovery channel showing dolphins and sharks peacefully feeding side-by-side. My memory of all the footage I’ve seen of dolphins and sharks peacefully together is that is usually happens in large schools of fish or bait-ball situations. Lots of food to go ’round. That’s not to say that dolphins can’t attack or intimidate sharks (as shown by the episode), but they CAN be found hanging out together. So don’t assume there aren’t any sharks just because you see dolphins!
Not sure if porpoises and sharks have been documented on nature video together, since porpoises actually ARE different than dolphins (porpoises and dolphins are as different from each other as humans are from monkeys)!

Kudos to the Mythbusters for once again showing that the “big ol’ scary” shark can actually be a bit timid. :)

Comment to dw.

You are absolutely right. Three guys waterskiing after a ferry in Denmark, at the same time. They were “Busted” by the police, but the case was dropped by the court in november 84.
Great show

Cheezy I know BUT, if you drove an Indy car down a regular city street at high speed, would it suck the man hole covers off??? Like to see this one. Thanks!

Waiting for another revisit of the JATOs on cars…
