alright, when someone is texting on a cellphone near a television it makes a humming noise, if the frequency of the waves (or however you would use a term for that) was increased, could the television explode due to the waves being too strong? i just want an answer and not necessarily a mythbuster thingy, i just thought of it at school.

Do glass balls really bounce higher than rubber ones? I don't think that they are talking about marbles.

See if a "Myth" has already been offered before posting.

but the find button searches all of discovery forums, and site subdomains... and not just mythbusters.. so you get 1,000's of query's and who will search through that you need a find for the find..

I was wondering if I could get the mythbusters' input on a school project. My friend and I are re-creating the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment, and if anyone had any tips that would be great!

PS: Another thing to investigate is people crashing through windows in movies so easily...possible or not?

Only when you tell it to. You can search Mythbusters only, or limit it to a specific section of the Mythbusters area. And can refine your search if too much is returned (like any other web search -- start broad, and narrow down to what you need). I wouldn't advise searching for "bullet" on its own, for instance, and expect to find what it is about bullets you're specifically looking for except by luck.

in the bible david killed goliath with a slingshot is that really possible????

Perhaps it would be good idea to post all of the good tips on how to Use Find in a Separate Locked thread "How To Use Find, Please" with a link at the bottom where you can post questions?

can the corn get so hot it starts to pop popcorn?

I don't really know where I am supposed to post this.
Everyone says Melaleuca is the cure for everything and works in everything from cleaning supplies to toothpaste, to health foods and vitamines; as well as skin creams and makeup. Does it really work and does it work for everything like the Melaleuca: The wellness company says. I have a hard time believing this. Thanks for any answers and I do hope that the mythbusters will be able to work on this one.

Actually if you read it carefully, David did not kill Goliath with a stone. he knocked him down and the David took Goliath's sword and cut his head off and so killing him.

49. And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.

50. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.

51. Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.


When it says slew him the first time it was saying that by using the sling and stone only he took down goliath and by that intial process he had killed him. The second time it says slew, David literally took the sword and Killed goliath by chopping off the head.

Actually, in the old days they used sugar cast into panes. I believe modern effects experts use a form of plastic with similar properties.
