MythBusters (2003 season)
The cast of the television series MythBusters perform experiments to verify or debunk urban legends, old wives' tales, and the like. This is a list of the various myths tested on the show as well as the results of the experiments (the myth is busted, plausible, or confirmed).

Old wives' tale
"Old wives' tale" is a colloquial expression referring to spurious or superstitious claims. They can be said sometimes to be a type of urban legend, said to be passed down by older women to a younger generation. Such tales are considered superstition, folklore or unverified claims with exaggerated and/or inaccurate details. Old wives' tales often centre on women's traditional concerns, such as pregnancy, puberty, social relations, health, herbalism and nutrition.

STK33
Serine/threonine kinase 33 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STK33 gene.  It is a member of the serine/threonine-specific protein kinase family of enzymes.

STK33 was identified as a synthetic lethal gene in KRAS-dependent cell lines.

STK33 has been considered as a target for reversible male contraceptives and the inhibitor CDD-2807 has been tested successfully in mice.

Male contraceptive
Male contraceptives, also known as male birth control, are methods of preventing pregnancy by interrupting the function of sperm. The most commonly used forms of male contraception are condoms, vasectomy, and withdrawal, which together represented 20% of global contraceptive use in 2019.  New forms of male contraception are in research and development, but as of 2025, none have achieved regulatory approval for widespread use. They could be available before 2030, assuming smooth development and clinical trials.

These new methods include topical creams, daily pills, injections, long-acting implants, and external devices, with both hormonal and non-hormonal mechanisms of action. Some could even be unisex, or usable by any person, because they could theoretically incapacitate mature sperm in the man's body before ejaculation, or incapacitate sperm in the body of a woman after insemination.

Feet of clay
Feet of clay is an idiom that refers to a weakness or character flaw, especially in people of prominence and power.  It can also be used to refer to larger groups, such as societies, businesses, and empires.  An entity with feet of clay may appear powerful and unstoppable, but they cannot support their splendor, and will easily be knocked over.

The phrase originates from the Book of Daniel in the Bible.  In it, Daniel interprets a dream of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.  In that dream, a magnificent statue is seen with a head of gold, but weaker and less valuable metals beneath, until finally having feet of clay mixed with iron.  Daniel predicts that the glorious statue shall be smashed by a stone into pieces, like chaff on the threshing floor, and blown to the winds.  The image of the expensive statue laid low has resonated as an analogy for seemingly powerful figures with substantial weaknesses.

Dream interpretation
Dream interpretation is the process of assigning meaning to dreams. In many ancient societies, such as those of Egypt and Greece, dreaming was considered a supernatural communication or a means of divine intervention, whose message could be interpreted by people with these associated spiritual powers. In the modern era, various schools of psychology and neurobiology have offered theories about the meaning and purpose of dreams.
