Slashdot is inviting folks to post their questions for the Mythbusters – not sure if it’s too late, but have at it! – “Who are the Mythbusters? Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman are the hosts of a unique and popular television show on the Discovery cable channel. Working from a background in the special effects industry and shooting on location at effects warehouse M5 Industries, Jamie and Adam attempt to shed light on hearsay, rumour, and myth. Along the way they usually run across a little bit of science, too.”… Link.

I was watching a show about water displacement. Do you think by adding all these super ships the size of cities on the ocean we are raising the ocean level? fill a tub up with water and see what i mean! We have added so much to the ocean we can”t blame it all on greenhouse effects!I would love to see some thoughts on my hypothesis!

hey guys,i have been making dry ice bombs for some time with 2 liter bottles and water.they seem to be right dangerous and was wondering have yall tried doing this.i was wondering if it would be strong enough to kill a human .i see you have gellitin bodies so you could try it.i cant do it because i dont have the stuff to do it.and i dont want to try it on myself ,i know its gonna do some damage.put about 3 inches of water in the 2 liter bottle,put in chunks of dry ice till its spewing heavy smoke out the top,i know its not smoke but ill call it that.put the top on fast.dont worry u have about 20 sec before it blows but do it fast as u can.the bottle will get about double in size.when it blows it sounds like a 12 guage shotgun.any one whom reads this,do not do this at home.i have worked with this ice for yrs,it will kill u if not handled correctly,or burn you.the stuff you guys do remind me of myself growing up.i have tried it all.i wish i was in califonia to meet you all.it would be neat to see what kind of pressure comes from this boom with simple buy out of store stuff.take care,please no one else do this,im not responcable if you get hurt,ive warned you.take care myth guys and gals,mike

A plane takes off because of the speed of the air over the wing….not the speed of the tire. The plane would just sit there.
