Maybe it's just me, but..

Can somebody please slap the "Mythbusters"? I just do not like the cocky "See how stupid you are for thinking this stuff actually works? Loser." attitude they seem to project. Note I said "seem". I acknowledge I've had four hours of sleep and been taking care of a sick Herself all day so my perceptions might not be exactly what one might call particularly acute just now.

i hate that show. rarely do they actually "bust a myth". Ark of the Covenant ? Pashaw. Most of the time, its just "lets make a 1 hour long show about blowing shit up". I'd rather watch something I could actually learn from.

Well, yeah, but it's _fun_ to watch them blow stuff up. And from where I sit, I don't think they take themselves too seriously, but quite knowingly use the myths as an excuse to use assorted objects to wreck other assorted objects. Don't know about you, but to me, that's fun.

they should call it the "blow shit up for no reason" show then.
