message: Does anyone else think it is worth noting that the high-speed camera went from 1000fps to 6000fps for episode 95. It was able to show bullets in mid-flight.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.242.37.60 (talk) 02:26, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Confederate Steam Gun 

message: Despite them bleeping Kari, from the "with thanks to" in the credits I'm guessing the Gatling gun came from Guardco Security who apparently do "detective guard & armoured car services". And since they also thank Merced County Sheriff's Department, and Guardco Security is apparently based in Merced, I'm guessing the secret location is somewhere in Merced County...

message: I'm having a hard time deciding how it should be.
The Pass/Fail thing was just to see if Jamie and Adam could improvise like MacGyver could. But it doesn't say if the myth was possible. Like for the film developing, apparently you can develop the film using the orange juice and the ammonia, if Grant and Tori were right. Wouldn't that be a confirmed, even though it didn't make the show? I'm having a hard time trying to parce this. Toastypk (talk) 05:39, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: They've done "no real myth" segments in the past. Diet coke and mentos, the christmas Rube-Goldberge machine, they "ultimate mythbusters" thing; and of coruse, their shopping episode. 
the point of the tests were to see if Adam and Jamie could think like MacGyver (i guess you can say that was the myth), and find soultions to the problem at hand with, well what ever was at hand.Metropod (talk) 03:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Shark Week 2008? 

message: According to TV Guide, the shark special is split into 2 shows, and exploding steak is the first episode of season 7, so the last few episodes need to be moved to the season 7 article. I don't have time to do it myself. ColdFusion650 (talk) 23:37, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the built in Dish guide, the 2008 Shark Special was a single two hour episode while the original shark special from 2006? was two one hour episode. I also find it more likely than not that 2008 Shark Special and all following episodes listing are season 7 but the discovery channel's web site needs checked before making that call.

message: Why aren't there any source references to the season subdivisions? Where do you get the information on when each season begins? There seem to bee different information on different websites. And the official MythBusters site doesn't list seasons at all. Wouldn't it be better to just arrange the episodes under year and skip the season subdivisions if there are no secure sources?! / Dreamingtree (talk) 15:44, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Season subdivision, reference 

message: Aren't arrowheads or some other weight at the front of the arrow needed for stability in flight; i.e., to ensure the center of gravity stays forward of the center of lift? (The feathers at the rear of arrows shifts the center of lift toward the rear.) If the center of lift is forward of the center of gravity, any slight angle between the axis of the arrow and its direction of flight (called the angle of attack) would cause that deviation to increase, because lift is proportional to angle of attack as well as velocity.   A pointed stick without added weight in front possibly would not fly as well.  Btm1 (talk) 07:20, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  5 Episode 99 – "Viewer Special 2"  5.1 Ancient Arrows 

message: Hi from Russian fans of the show. 
Could you please explain why did you marked "Viewer Special Threequel" as a Special Episode SP12 and not as a regular Episode #114? It really doesn't make sense, cause first two "Viewer Choice" episodes are marked as a regular episodes (namely, Episode 84 "Viewer's Special" and Episode 99 "Viewer's Special 2"). Moreover, the fourth Viewer Special, aka "Wheel of Mythfortune", marked as a regular episode. So what is so special in this "Viewer Special Threequel"?
As far as I understand there is no reliable source on this matter. Even Discovery official website do not list all the episodes. Sometimes it miss a special episodes, sometimes it doesn't. Actually, it miss several regular episodes as well. E.g., "Operation Valkyrie" do not in the list, while special "Top 25 Moments" counted in. 
So it look like one should use a common sense to separate special episodes and regular one. And common sense insist, that this "Viewer Special Threequel" should be treated as a regular episode. It is not a clip-cut of a previous scenes, it has no specific content or something, it is the very common episode of Mythbusters.
The reason why am I asking you is that Russian wiki treats this episode as a regular Episode 114. Consistently, "Demolition Derby" is Episode 115, etc. Right now we have discussion on this matter. So we will appreciate any links, hints and ideas you could provide us with.

message: Is it relevant to add that in the 10th season gunslingers episode, Jamie specifically called the fiber-reinforced gypsum cement he used 'FGR 95'. I don't think it was mentioned in the episode itself, but its interesting to know if you check here for details. So should it be added?
