I think they ran out of myth material long ago. Im suprised the show has lasted this long.

It's not about myths! It's about building insane machines and blowing stuff up. Duh.

It's like Top Gear. They tell you it's about reviewing cars, but really, it's about driving extremely fast and blowing stuff up.

May both shows run forever.

yea it doesn't have to be classic myths, its about the fun of debunking stuff. more or less through reason and clever cobbled together solutions which are kinda neat.

Where are you getting this info that a photocopy of the fingerprint worked? If it's the same show I watched last week or so, they had to extract his fingerprint covertly off a cd, then transfer it onto some sort of film, then put it in some tumbler machine thingamabob, then transfer it onto some sort of ballistic gel. It wasn't as easy of you guys are making it sound, but it was busted nonetheless.

they tried the photocopy after they went through that i think, once they figured out how totally sh*t that lock was.
