[...] And then enjoy watching Mythbusters’ Adam Savage give a vial containing one of his farts to Craig Ferguson as a gift. I could go on and on about how wonderful Mythbusters is. But I’ll spare you that rant. (Via Bad Astronomy) [...]

Oh,,,Jack,,,NOOOooooo.

Loved the video. Fun with all kinds of things. I especially liked the show where they tried to blow out a pressurized airliner cabin. Took five lbs of dynamite, as I recall. Bullets thru the window only poked a little hole. Cool!

14. Damon Says: “As my room-mate puts it, ‘over-privileged nerds with degrees and money who like to blow stuff up for fun but pretend it’s for science.’ ”

You’re just figuring this out now?

“This… this is science?”

No, it’s entertainment. The real value of MB is that they teach skepticism, that you shouldn’t accept things on face value just because they conform to your world view.

No, this was back during the whole Kansas school board thing, that much I remember, so it wouldn’t have been as recent as May 2009. He very clearly expressed his opinion that creation should be taught in school.

My only complaint is that it seems in recent years they’ve become much more dependent on explosions to make their show entertaining (moon hoax episode notwithstanding).
