In my country if you mailed a coconut via our mail service, it would come back a bomb.

I know it has been awhile since this episode originally aired. And I only caught the end. But I was in the Navy on a small island in the Indian Ocean for Christmas 1978. I sent a dozen or so green (still had their external husk) coconuts out as Christmas cards to friends and family by just taping an address and postage on the outside. They all arrives in the States. The only bad part was that I paid postage by weight, and the coconuts were heavy when the left the island and had dried out (and were a fraction of their weight) by the time they arrived!

Glad to hear it is still possible…love your show.

“Growing up” doeant mean 4- she easily could have meant 10-14. I know that when i was young enough to wet the bed i would never have even heard of this much less thought to try!

I also question their tests because the bullet from a .45 calibur pistol would either destroy or miss the match every time unless it was the size of a 2×4.

A ‘power engineer’? ‘Collage’?

Hope you’ll still read this.

In their defense, read the myth again. It says “will” not “can”. Therefore, a single failure will bust it. Similar results were found on the ‘banana’ myth. Sure you “can” slip on a banana, as I’m sure you “can” slip on sandpaper, but that doesn’t mean you “will”

I have stamped a tortilla and addressed it and sent it through the mail in Texas. With all the new restrictions on mail I don’t know if they would still send them. The one that we nibbled into a rectangle arrived in much better condition than the round one though.

I do not agree with the “Busted” verdict with regards to the myth of dipping a sleeping person’s hand in warm water makes the person wet the bed.

I can’t believe that you went to all the effort to go to a sleep center. Just go to any 8 year old girl’s slumber party and the myth will be proven by about 3:00 a.m. If that’s not possible, then a college dorm or a fraternity party!

You should combine retesting this myth with the next myth when you get someone totally drunk. Once they pass out, dip their hand in the warm water. No sleep center, no brain monitors, just a passed out drunk and a glass of warm water. Keep this one low tech and you’ll find that your first round of testing was over complicated.
