Mythbuster Adam Savage Drunk On A Treadmill

Leave no urban myth untested.

Could you kill someone by dropping a penny from a skyscraper? Can an unsuspecting scuba diver be sucked out of the water by a firefighting helicopter and get spit out in the middle of a forest fire? Can you save yourself in a plummeting elevator by jumping just before it hits bottom?

Special effects experts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, hosts of the Discovery Channel’s top-rated MythBusters, use modern-day uttermost science to show you what’s real and what’s fiction. With photographs, illustrations, blueprints, and exclusive consultations to document the mythbusting process, MythBusters: The Explosive Truth Behind 30 of the Most Perplexing Urban Legends of All Time will thoroughly examine dozens of urban legends, from exploding toilets to being buried alive — these guys have tested them all. Eye-opening, jaw-dropping, and even laugh-inducing, this book will delight armchair scientists, curious readers, and fans of the show alike. Keith and Kent Zimmerman are the New York Times bestselling coauthors of Hell’s Angel and The Best Damn Sports Book, Period, amongst others.

A well-done book based on a great show!
By Readz Alot
I’ve only caught MythBusters a few times on tv, but take pleasure in it sufficient to have shelled out for the book. It’s fun to be capable to read in regards to their attempts without having to go to the crusade to do not forget when the show is on tv …
Well written, with the same sense of humor and fun that Adam and Jamie display on the air.
(And, for the reviewer who panned the book because she ‘didn’t know it was based on a tv show,’ … why will have to you blame the book because you didn’t read the description? The summary very without doubt or question states what the book is about, and what it’s based on!)

Great pictures and myths- must come out with more of these
By Jimbobwe
This is a fun little book with great color pictures and interesting myths. One could be tempted to skip through all the writing with regards to what they genuinely did for the duration of the show and just read if the myth’s busted. Very interesting and easy to just flip through- surely don’t need to read it cover to cover.

Considering these 30 myths were in all likelihood from in regards to 20 of their a great deal of episodes, they ought to come out with more books like this so humans who don’t get the Discovery Channel (like me) and may only catch it once in a while someplace else may read up on the myths in these nifty books.

Don’t bother if you watch the show on TV
By Jim Janecek
If you don’t watch TV, then you might find this book vaguely interesting.
But I got this for an XMAS gift and I watch the show on TV. I found this book to be redundant at best.

Other than a bit of background selective information on the hosts and the producer, there is perfectly not one thing in this book that you won’t find on the TV shows.

All the data they cover is just a re-hash of each episode from the TV show, and given the choice, the TV show version is much much better than a print version that in a literal sense has low-resolution “screenshots” from the sequences to illustrate.

I was also astonished to find the last 11 pages of the book Absolutely Blank!
This was not a mis-print, it was probably for less to print the book with those pages left blank than to physically leave them out. The writers could not get sufficient data to fill in the blank sections?

The book seems to be a rush-job that just capitalizes on the popularity of the TV show.
The TV series this book is based on illustrates everything in the book MUCH clearer than the book itself.

Given the option, buy or rent the DVDs of the TV series and forget in regards to this book.
