What would be a good mythbusters experiment?

Question

I love this show, what do you think they should cover on the new season?

Answer 1

Not exactly a myth, but I wonder what happens when a balloon pops.

A few years ago, my son and I did a science fair project to investigate what happens when a water balloon is punctured. We set up a flash camera on the side of a trash can lid, put a water balloon in the center, and on the other side, a hinged stick that had a spike in it that punctured the water balloon at the same time its end hit the flash shutter on the camera. We got beautiful pictures which surprised us - the balloon, once punctured, ripped rapidly and opened around the water, pulling itself underneath and briefly leaving a ball of water sitting in the lid, which of course, then began to fall under the influence of gravity.

So what I'm wondering is if a balloon filled with air does the same thing - does the balloon rip and roll around a ball of air faster than the air can move?

And what I think they could do a whole season on is investigating (exposing) moon hoax theories one at a time. I'm getting so sick of clueless posters here who try to claim we never went, citing a list of "evidence" that is easily debunked.

Answer 2

Cow Tipping

Answer 3

Do loud pipes (on trucks or motorcycles) save lives?

A statement used by bikers and yuppie NASCAR wannabes. In my opinion is a urban legend / fairy tail to justify bad behavior and inflate little egos.
