furtechTonight was Mythbusters season opener-- Wow!
A whole two hours of debunking or confirming car myths! I'm not sure what was cooler: the re-creation of the car-beating-falling-car-commercial, the two semi's pancaking a compact car or...oh, let's face it: it was the rocket-propelled steel sled pancaking a compact car (the two stages of rockets got the sled-- with a front-sheet of one-inch steel-- up to seven-hundred miles per hour! I would SO love to have one of those high speed video cameras! Still a few decimal points off from being affordable, though.
Bob Edwards interviewed Jamie and Adam on his XM-Sirius show today in honor of their premier: two of my favorite things together-- Mythbusters and Bob Edwards! I think you need to subscribe to listen to episodes online, but they don't ask for much (about $12/month). Edwards is such a good interviewer and he brings out the best in his guests.

I hope I'm not giving spoilers here...but I really don't think words are adequate to describe the actual event.
