Here's your chance to help out the guys!

Men's Journal is going to do a Q&A with Adam and Jamie about their participation in Discovery Channel's "Shark Week" this year as well as the upcoming season premiers of "MythBusters" - and they need our help.

What do they need help with? Questions, of course! They need some really great Shark questions for our Myth Busting Duo!

Here's some examples of what we're looking for...
1.) What's your favorite shark movie?
2.) What do you do to prepare for Shark Week?
3.) Which shark myth are you most excited about?

With that out of the way... here's your reward! A sneek peek at the topics for MythBusters Shark Week episode!

Peeper penetration - does poking a Great White Shark in the eye really work?
Animal magnetism - are sharks attracted to magnets in the water?
Flapping fish - does flapping/splashing in the water really attract sharks?

In addition those the Build team will also be testing the following:
The Shining - are sharks attracted to shiny things?
Playing dead - will it keep sharks away?

I'm so excited! Let's get those questions rolling!!!!

I have a couple.

1.) What was your favorite shark myth that you have done so far?

2.) Is it Adam's turn in the shark cage?*


*I don't remember if he has been in one or not or if he wants to be.....

Having been Scuba diving many times I have heard of all the ideas that MM posted. I've also been close to many sharks from Lemon sharks to Hammerheads. Never had any trouble with them. The rumor that any electrical aura in the water attracting sharkes strikes me as testable. I just checked and I'm just a bit shy of 9/10s of a DC volt today. grab your multimeter, on DC mv, one lead to each index finger, and see if you are alive! If we do give off an "aura" would it carry further in fresh or salt water?

I guess if I asked 'what type of shark scares you most?' the answer would be the great-white.

So instead I'll ask 'After the great-white what types of shark scare you most?'

What is your favorite type of shark?
Since Jamie loves scuba diving, I thought he in particular might have one.
