Mythbusters3
Wednesday night a Mythbusters episode was shown that was different from the rest. This Mythbusters episode tried to disprove themselves, many fans write in saying that they may have made a mistake when testing a myth so the hosts go back to the drawing board to retest the myth. Adam and jamie tried to retest a myth about making a rocket fire with the rocket fuel being gun powder, bologna, and a special gas, when retesting the myth they found that they were actually wrong and the fans were correct. Bologna did not increase the force that the rocket fired and the reason it worked initially was because of the gas they used. Then next myth was explosive decompression the idea that if there is a whole the size of a bullet in an airplane the air would decompess the airplane and cause it to destroy. When retesting there results were conclusive and found that a bullet sized whole would not do the job but an airplane window would cause this to happen.

What?!?! They blew out the window in Snakes on a Plane and they still managed to land the plane!
Good post. Can you go further with this? What role does this show play in larger culture? Why is mythbusting important?
